England fall at the last fence

A day of high drama at Old Trafford saw Australia cling to a draw in what has been a match dominated by England.

England needed one wicket with three overs to go and were defied by the bleach boys. Brett Lee held out against a loose Harmison last over. Earlier Rickey Ponting had almost single handedly saved the match for Australia before his late dismissal.

The rain on Saturday cost England the time they would have used to bowl Australia out. Kevin Pietersen shelled yet another vital catch and Vaughan had to watch Simon Jones limp off at a critical period in the final hour. Again, for fans of both teams it was an enthralling days play.
