It was a fantastic, rollercoaster of a series and it received a fitting end on a beautifully sunny and dramatic day at the Oval. With the series tied at 1-1, Australia resumed their 2nd innings.
On his final appearance at the Home of Cricket, Freddie did not disappoint. He took five wickets to propel England into a 1-0 lead in the series, bowing down for his famous salute as the fifth.
11.3 overs left. 6 runs behind. 1 wicket away from defeat. With only Anderson and Panesar standing in the way of Australian victory, few gave the duo little chance of preventing a defeat in.
