Nel to Flintoff, FOUR, That's the game. Flintoff brings up the victory with a swing to the deep backward square leg boundary. He dashed outside off, got outside the line and lapped it around the corner. England lead the series 4-0. Pietersen is all smiles in the pavilion. A glum Kallis walks out with his players. Huge cheers for Flintoff and Shah.
