Ashes 2009 Pointscore: Update after Edgbaston and Headingley. Only one Test to go - with the series tied at 1-1, it's getting nervous out there, and in here, too.

A low scoring rain affected draw in Edgbaston, while injuries to Flintoff and Pietersen played havoc with the results from Headingley. Australia winning by an innings also had something to do with it. Consistency from rumple, and a big 4th test score from Dr J.

Individual Test scores in brackets, total at the end.

Bopara's been dropped. So if Flintoff can't make it I'm down to 2 players from my six.

Next time I'm picking six Australians.

I had the lowest score for Edgbaston, even with four playing!

I am Bopara.

Keep the foot on the Pom throat!

It should be very interesting to see if England folds up as Langer predicted in his memo. I suspect their middle folds again, except Collinson who will battle much harder this time. But the Australian bats will overwhelm.
