A brilliant 2nd day for England.
Let's hope we bat until mid way through the final session with a first innings lead around the ballpark of 300; giving us 40 minutes to an hour to bowl at the tired Aussies.

England continue their dominance, moving onto 551-4, a lead of 306.
Cook was finally out for 148 and Pietersen hit an unbeaten 200 before play ended early due to rain.
With the changeable conditions, England may declare overnight rather than bat on, and hope to do some damage early on.

In good conditions, I'd maybe bat on for a bit as well but if there's more rain overnight, we might as well declare and make the most of the bowling conditions early on. See if we can get 3 or 4 wickets before lunch.

If you combine England's 2nd innings from Brisbane and the 1st innings in this test, they are 1068-5.

England now in a very strong position; and I'm very pleased Pieterson got a double century; but the weather forecast for the next two days suggests the rain may come to Australia's rescue.

With the changeable conditions, England may declare overnight rather than bat on, and hope to do some damage early on. England declared on 620-5 after Pietersen out for 227 (the ball after achieving his highest-ever score), and then Bell and Prior hitting ~50 in ~32 balls. It's their highest score against Australia since 1938 Australia 375 runs behind with almost two full days (minus rain delays) to bat out...
