​ Johnson saves Australia Saturday 1st August 2009 By Callum Tate

After tea he scored 89 before he was out and Australia are now 9/243 at stumps on Day Three. Earlier in the day, Ben Hilfenhaus took 6 for 97 off 29 overs. For England, Alistair Cook scored 134 off 321 balls and Ian Bell also scored a ton, scoring 149 before he played the ball back onto his stumps in the 98th over. The Australian innings started very badly. After 14 overs, Australia were 4/43 and, with Marcus North and Shane Watson at the crease, they looked done and dusted. But just before lunch, Australia lost two key batsmen.
