The Ashes resumed yesterday at Old Trafford in Manchester. For the first time in three matches, Australia won the toss. They elected to bat -- and then batted all day, scoring 303 runs and losing only three wickets. They would have lost only two wickets if not for an umpiring decision so bad that even Australia's Prime Minister is complaining about it. Apparently, Instant Replay is even more annoying in cricket than it is in American sports.
So here's where things stand:
England leads two matches to none, with three matches left.
After day one, the scoreboard from Match Three looked like this:
AUSTRALIA: 303
ENGLAND: 0
INNINGS: Top of the 1st
AT BAT: Australia
WICKETS LEFT: 7
