That's it! Harris has five and Australia break their duck! Broad chips it tamely to cover where Hussey takes the catch.

Full commentary
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.

Harris strikes again, what a game he's having! Bresnan attempted to clear the one man at deep long on, curious shot-selection really, and he ended up skiing it straight to Watson on the boundary

Harris to Yardy, 1 run
fifty for Michael Yardy, and he's played rather well, his first significant effort with the bat for England since his comeback, but it'd take a lot more to give England a chance
Yardy and Bresnan have just about kept England above water, but here's Ryan Harris.
