There was not much for England to cheer about after lunch and there would be not prolonging the inevitable till tea.

Australia completed the formalities after lunch on day three of the fourth Test of the Ashes at Headingley to win the match by an innings and eighty runs, and now even the Ashes going into the fifth Test at the Oval in ten days' time.
Graeme Swann was not sure he nicked the ball but Mitchell Johnson ended his resistance on sixty-two and it was not long before Johnson marked his return with a five wicket haul, removing Graham Onions, to seal what has been a pretty shambolic England performance but a resoundingly scary one as far as Australia's threat is concerned.
England played an equivalent of one day's play with thirty-three overs in the first innings and sixty-one in the second and that has been their undoing in this five day venture.
