that'll be all! Tait finishes it off, which is apt, with a slower ball, which isn't! Swann backed away and tried to carve it over mid off but he couldn't time it and ended up gifting a catch to mid off.

Full commentary
Australia have come back very strongly from 3-0 down - they've beaten England comfortably in the last two games. It was Mike Hussey and Shaun Marsh's partnership that first turned the game towards Australia, but Shaun Tait nailed home the advantage. His opening burst was as exciting as anything I've seen in a long time. It left England feeling anxious and they never quite recovered, despite Collingwood's defiant 95.
England do of course take the series, but ahead of the Ashes there was enough for both teams to take with them to Brisbane.
Brydon will have his bulletin ready for you soon, so check that out. And for the visually minded we have a gallery of the best of the day's action.
Michael Atherton leads the presentation ceremony. Ponting dead-bats Atherton's invitation to speculate about Tait's Test future and rightly praises his side for coming back so strongly in the series.
Shaun Tait is named man of the match he really deserved it. From his interview he looks like a man with more pace than words and is surprisingly soft-spoken. He too has none of Atherton's invitation to turn his Test retirement around, saying he struggles enough to get through 10 overs in an ODI game.
Eoin Morgan is man of the series. Like Tait he's a man of few words but says, somewhat predictably, that he would was disappointed not to contribute more in England's last two games.
That's about it from us. There is of course plenty more cricket going around and Australia are back in action against Pakistan on Monday.

Tait to Swann, no run
Swann has Tait to deal with, who bangs in a short ball, Swann had backed away outside leg and missed his swipe
"This is really interesting," writes Nitin. "Swann has 605 test runs at a strike rate of 87.42 but 250 ODI runs at a mere rate of 76.21. What a time to make up for it!"

Duggie has done it! Terrific caught and bowled! Broad mistimed a check-drive back down the wicket, Bollinger stuck out a hand and found the ball in it! That should finally settle this game

Bollinger comes into the attack, he's got Broad to bowl at. Australia want him to stay there.
