No whitewash for England, they never got close today. Ponting and Clarke finally gave the Australian bowlers something to work with, and England, chasing a daunting total, could never get going as Harris ran through the top order.

Important win for Australia, with Tait in the side their bowling has a touch more devil and it has made a real difference. It was a return to the old Australia really, powerful and professional. For their part, England looked a touch flat throughout. Anyway, Brydon Coverdale will have a much more revealing assessment in his bulletin, which will be ready for you shortly, so check that out.

Strauss: "Disappointing day, the batting was a bit of a return to the old days, lost too many wickets too quickly and it's always hard to keep the runrate in check when you lose wickets too early."

Ponting: "We've played a lot better today, our batting was back at the level it should be. Shaun Tait has forced the opposition on the back foot and I'll be talking to him about reversing his decision to give up the longer form of the game! It's been a frustrating series but the boys bounced back well today."

Ryan Harris is named man of the match and says he's happy to perform well today after disappointing at Old Trafford.

Right, that's just about it from us today. Thanks for all the emails, and I hope you'll join us on Saturday for the final game from Lord's.

Bollinger to Broad, 1 leg bye, almost goes first ball as Bollinger, who is really racing in, arrows a yorker into Broad's pads, it was slipping down leg, however, and thudded off the pads for one

Stuart Broad is the new man. He used to be able to bat, not so much these days. Anyway, he needs a miracle.

Bollinger to Swann, OUT, and another one goes! Bollinger is too sharp for Swann! Bounced up into the rib area, Swann tried to fend it away and could only glove it behind to Paine
