The Ashes 2013 Third Test Day 2 continues on Friday with Australia in a good position from the first day, having gone past 300 runs for the loss of just three wickets. They will want to push on today and hope to get a score close or even beyond 500.

Australian captain Michael Clarke has shown why many currently consider him the best Test batsman in world cricket. He gave an assured performance on Day 1, holding the Australian innings together, frustrating the England attack, and allowing his team to continue to tick over the scoreboard at a good rate throughout the day.

Day 2 will be vital for both teams. If Australia can get beyond 500 that will be a huge total for England to chase down, and if England have problems in their first innings it could put Australia in a very strong position. More than 500 would allow the Australian bowlers a lot of time and room to try things with England's batsmen, and especially on a wicket that is turning they will be hoping spin can allow wickets to fall consistently throughout the match.

Meanwhile for England they will want to keep Australia as close to 400 as they can; anything much more than that would be a challenge for their batsmen who have not performed at their best level through the series so far. Swann will be an important player and England will be looking to him to cause problems for the Aussie batters and try and clear out the Australian first innings in the first half of the day.
