Australia v England - 5th Test

FIFTH TEST, SYDNEY, DAY TWO: Evening session: England 291 all out v Australia 155-4

Steve Harmison took wickets either side of tea and Ricky Ponting ran himself out before rain brought the players off on day two of the final Ashes Test.
Scorecard
Australia were 155-4 in reply to England's 291 and the match looked to be evenly poised in Sydney.

Harmison removed Matthew Hayden with a poor delivery that the left-hander lazily steered to second slip.

But the ball that removed Michael Clarke had some venom in it, the right-hander edging it to Chris Read.

PLAY SUSPENDED FOR RAIN
Just as England canter around in joyous celebration, the rain begins to fall. It's nothing too heavy, but the umpires point towards the pavillion before Andrew Symonds can come thundering down the steps. Harmison now has 2-27 off 10.1 overs. I gave him a slating earlier on, but he's finally started to click.
