That just about wraps things up from us for today. Andrew Miller's bulletin will be ready shortly (he's had a bit of rewrite to do, I know that feeling) and if you want the latest from the football World Cup head over to ESPNsoccernet. Although England have wrapped up this series there are two matches to go, at The Oval on Wednesday and Lord's next Saturday. Join us for them, but from Andrew McGlashan, Andrew Miller and Liam Brickhill it's goodbye for now.
Graeme Swann gets the Man-of-the-Match award for his four wickets. Another impressive day for him. "The last 10 days have been very exciting and on the back of last year when he lost heavily it was important we performed well."
"The dressing room is buzzing and it's a great place to be although it wasn't 20 minutes ago!"
Here comes a smiling Andrew Strauss: "It was pretty horrendous at the end," he says. "We've had a couple of speed humps and today was a major one. Fair play to Tim Bresnan, he kept his head."
"Any series win against Australia is a massive achievement and personally it's a great feeling. But there are areas we can get better and we have two games to go."
Ricky Ponting: "We stuck at it, but the batting wasn't good enough again. Congratulations to England, they have deserved to win each game." He clearly isn't impressed with the batsmen "we haven't stood up" and he isn't a happy Punter. Tait and Bollinger receive praise, as well they should.
England 3 Australia 0. It's not a football score (England would never score that many) and it means the series is in the bag for Andrew Strauss which, despite today's major wobble, is a notable achievement for this evolving one-day side. Credit to Australia, they gave it will go at the end with some outstanding bowling from Doug Bollinger and Shaun Tait with late reverse swing. However, Ricky Ponting will know his team's batting let them down again and 212 wasn't enough. Stay with us for the presentation shortly
Who's got the last over...it's James Hopes. Three needed from six balls. So much time being taken to set the field. Who wants it? No third man or fine leg
