111th over: England 340-1 (Cook 150, Trott 66) Cook punches his next ball through the covers for three to get to 150 and the 150 partnership. The Barmies sing Ali Cook to the tune of Baby Give It Up Photograph: Cameron Spencer/Getty Images

115th over: England 347-1 (Cook 156, Trott 67) Watson comes on for Hilfenhaus and he's targeting the cracks with more accuracy than the other three quicks. Cook thick edges four off his last ball through the underpopulated slip area Photograph: Cameron Spencer/Getty Images

117th over: England 360-1 (Cook 161, Trott 75) Huge roars as Michael Clarke drops a sitter in the slips, straight into his hands from Trott's low cut and straight out again. Wheels are coming off. Pretty ordinary as they say in Oz Photograph: Hamish Blair/Getty Images

118th over: England 370-1 (Cook 166, Trott 75) My God, Johnson has just bowled a huge wide for four, from round the wicket it flew to long leg. That was as bad as Harmison's from four years ago. He looks as if he doesn't have any confidence in his method at all and is just, as he said, whanging it down Photograph: WILLIAM WEST/AFP/Getty Images

126th over: England 412-1 (Cook 182, Trott 92) This is the first time a side has ever got to 400 for the loss of one wicket in the second innings of a match. Remarkable Photograph: Tom Shaw/Getty Images

131st over: England 432-1 (Cook 200, Trott 94) Paddle sweep from Trott puts Cook on strike and with a chance to become the fifth Englishman to score a Test double hundred in Australia. And he does it thanks to a misfield after Australia had a Hussain/Richard Dawson moment and tried to keep him waiting. It's his highest ever score – 200 off 361 balls Photograph: Rick Rycroft/AP

133rd over: England 439-1 (Cook 201, Trott 100) Trott picks off two then sort of flat bats it to mid off before taking an easy three to midwicket, turned off his pads. Two Ashes Tests for Trott and two second-innings centuries. What resilience Photograph: STEVE HOLLAND/EPA

141st over: England 457-1 (Cook 209, Trott 106) Doherty so nearly gets a wicket when Cook chips one low to Ponting, diving forward at short midwicket. Ponting did not celebrate, and the umpires went to the TV replay. Once you do that with low catches, there is only one outcome: Cook survives Photograph: Hamish Blair/Getty Images

144th over: England 485-1 (Cook 223, Trott 119) Cook is dropped by Ponting. Unreal. Cook went for a big drive and it flew off the edge to Ponting in a wide slip position. He dived to his right but couldn't hold on. That was a sharp chance but, even so, I've never seen Australia this ragged in the field Photograph: PATRICK HAMILTON/AFP/Getty Images

149th over: England 509-1 (Cook 231, Trott 131) Alastair Cook's is now the highest Test score at the Gabba, ahead of Don Bradman's 226 against some poor helpless suckers back in the day Photograph: STEVE HOLLAND/EPA

147th over: England 502-1 (Cook 229, Trott 127) Yet another statgasm: England have, for the first time in Test history, gone past 500 for the lost of only one wicket. Nurse, the Wisdens! First Cook clouted Doherty over mid-on for four, and then there were four byes when Doherty speared a yorker down leg. Ricky Ponting can only smile wryly as another piece of his empire goes into the river Photograph: STEVE HOLLAND/EPA

152nd over: England 517-1 declared (Cook 235, Trott 134) This has been an extraordinary innings, one that nobody on the planet could have imagined. Cook ends on 235, Trott on 135, their partnership an unbeaten 329 and England's lead 296. It hurts just trying to comprehend those statistics Photograph: Hamish Blair/Getty Images

WICKET! Australia 5-1 (Katich c Strauss b Broad 4) England's day just gets better. Katich fiddled unnecessarily at a shortish delivery outside off stump, bowled from around the wicket, and Strauss took a straightforward catch at first slip Photograph: Rick Rycroft/AP

10th over: Australia 30-1 (target: 297; Watson 17, Ponting 8) Jimmy Anderson and Ricky Ponting exchanged a few words and the umpires had to get involved. The stump mic was turned down as it started so not sure what was said Photograph: Rick Rycroft/AP

17th over: Australia 62-1 (target: 297; Watson 23, Ponting 33) Ponting finsihes the over by going down on one knee and thwacking Swann for six over mid on Photograph: Tom Shaw/Getty Images

Australia reach 107-1 before ponting and Strauss finally call it quits. The first Test is drawn - what a miraculous recovery from England. The second Test in Adelaide begins on Friday, December 3 Photograph: Gareth Copley/PA
