Australia win by 46 runs That really is a special win. Australia were on the turf at 8 for 142 but clawed their way back through a sensational Shaun Marsh hundred. He was rightly named man of the match but would not have got there if it weren't for Doug Bollinger, who made 30 in a crucial partnership before bursting through England's top order to finish with 4 for 28.
Nathan Hauritz made a very good comeback, proving that he should have been playing all summer, until he sadly dislocated his shoulder while fielding.
England will be cheered partly in the knowledge that their frontline attack - Anderson, Broad and Swann - was missing but they've lost three on the bounce now. Andrew McGlashan will tell you all about it in his bulletin and we also have a gallery of the best of today's pictures.
That's all from me, Sahil, and from Brydon. We'll be back on Sunday to see if Australia can keep their run of form going.
