The Friday night television ratings are traditionally dominated by Seven, thanks largely to its news and current affairs offering, combined with sport (AFL), game shows (The Chase Australia), and lifestyle (Better Homes and Gardens).

The Ashes, however, has helped Nine edge ahead on Friday this week, with session one of day two of the first test getting 528,000 metro viewers. Session two had 371,000.

LUNCH – It’s been tough going. What will session 2 bring?
