Australia seamer Glenn McGrath believes the final Test is finely balanced as he seeks to end his career with a victory.The home side polished off England for 291 then added 188-4 by stumps, and 36-year-old McGrath said: "It's reasonably evenly poised.
"We feel we can turn things round from almost any situation and win a Test. The guys are pretty positive.
"We thought if we could get a couple of wickets early they have quite a long tail and we could do some damage."

Highlights: Fifth Test - Day Two
England's spirits lifted when Ricky Ponting was run out by James Anderson and McGrath admitted: "They have got a bit of an opportunity."
Recent additions Mike Hussey and Andrew Symonds then consolidated the Australians, however, with an unbroken partnership of 33, taking their team within 103 of England's total.
"We'll see how things go in the morning," said McGrath, who took 3-67 to lift his Test wicket tally to 560.
"If we can put on a good partnership first off then we can take it away from them."
