England huffed and puffed to 228, a total achieved only after their lower order rallied and scored useful runs late in the innings. All of Australia's bowlers took wickets.
Australia, on the other hand, were slow at the start but they didn't lose wickets and moved steadily towards their goal. White's century was supremely compiled and Clarke made a valuable half-century. It was the first successful chase of the series. Australia lead 3-0 with four matches to play. The next game is at Lord's on September 12.
I hope you've enjoyed our coverage today, on behalf of Will Luke, this is George Binoy signing off. That's all folks.
Australia need 8 off the last two overs, Anderson will bowl the penultimate one.
