England most likely need three wickets tomorrow as Australia were 減ずるd to 169 for six, with Ryan Harris almost 確かな not to bat again after 苦しむing a 強調する／ストレス fracture of the foot.

'We didn't bat that 井戸／弁護士席 in the first innings even in やめる 冒険的な 条件s, and there's no 疑問 we've not batted that 井戸／弁護士席 at all throughout this game and we're now in a position where we're a long way from even 海難救助ing a draw,' said Watson.

End of the road: Tim Bresnan celebrates trapping Shane Watson lbw

Asked if there was a way 支援する for Australia, Watson 簡単に pursed his lips.
The 29-year-old's 54 was the highest 得点する／非難する／２０ of the Australian innings, but Watson could not take much satisfaction from it after 存在 罠にかける lbw by Tim Bresnan.

'For me 本人自身で, it's disappointing to get another 50 and not be able to go on and make the most of the way I feel I'm hitting the ball and get a big 得点する／非難する／２０.

'Doing a good 職業:' Australia captain Ricky Ponting has been 支援するd by Shane Watson

'The English bowled very 井戸／弁護士席 in these 条件s and got the ball to 逆転する 早期に. Bresnan and (Chris) Tremlett bowled very 井戸／弁護士席, there's no 疑問, they had good （一定の）期間s and made it very difficult to be able to 得点する／非難する／２０ while getting wickets in the end too.'

Although his was the second wicket to 落ちる, Watson had an unfortunate 手渡す in the first too as Phil Hughes was run out for 23.

'You'd 現実に prefer to run yourself out, it's a horrible feeling to be 伴う／関わるd in a run out when it's your mate and it's not ideal when you're trying to build an 開始 共同,' he said.

With Australia on the brink of 敗北・負かす, much 焦点（を合わせる） has been put on captain Ricky Ponting, 特に after his 炉心溶融 on the second day when he was 罰金d for 露骨な／あからさまの dissent against umpire Aleem Dar.

But Watson defended his captain and said the team remains behind him.

'He's 対処するing 同様に as he かもしれない can given the position he's in at the moment,' he said. 'He's a very, very strong guy mentally as he's shown in his career and he's still doing everything he かもしれない can for himself and for the team.

'There's never any 疑問ing Ricky's 質 in the team.'

Match 勝利者? Tim Bresnan's three quick wickets 床に打ち倒すd Australia

With England likely to 終わりにする／要約する a victory 公正に／かなり quickly now, Australia must turn their attention to Sydney and the 適切な時期 to at least save the series, if not 勝利，勝つ 支援する the Ashes.

'We have to play for some pride too,' Watson said. 'It's been very disappointing to put on the show we have for the Australian public who have come out and supported us.
"For us to have played as 貧しく as we have, we have a lot to 海難救助 for them 同様に.'

Bresnan's return of three wickets for 26 runs was one of the 重要なs for England today, as the Yorkshireman took all three for the cost of two runs in the space of 19 balls.

'The lads have played 井戸／弁護士席,' Bresnan said. 'To have bowled them out for 98 in the first innings is all we could have hoped for and we've used the 条件s very 井戸／弁護士席.

'Then we've piled on the runs, (Jonathan) Trott played out of his 肌 and Matty P (事前の) has had a big 共同 again so it's all gone 井戸／弁護士席 so far.

Bresnan was able to find 逆転する swing to flummox the Australian batsmen.
'You've just got to use the 条件s you get given,' he said. 'It's been very 乾燥した，日照りの out there yesterday and all day today so the pitch becomes やめる abrasive and there's been some swing we were able to 偉業／利用する.'

'Myself, Jimmy (Anderson) and Tremmy have all bowled 井戸／弁護士席, as has Swanny (Graeme Swann) because although there's not a lot of spin out there, he's not gone for any runs either.

'On a pitch that's not doing much you just have to build 圧力 and wait for the mistake. We've done a lot of hard work, but we've still got a little bit to do tomorrow.'
