What a victory for England, who have gone 1-0 up and are now in a wonderful position in the series. Flintoff grabs one of the stumps and acknowledges the crowd, gets hugs from all his team-mates after what can only be described as a matchwinning spell this morning, in his last Lord's Test. Fittingly, it's Flintoff who leads England off the field, clapping a stump and the ball together and he gets a standing ovation. What an exhausting 105 minutes this morning! I can't imagine how tense it was for the players. Test cricket at its best. "Fred getting that wicket in the first over calmed everyone down," Graeme Swann says. "We knew it was a massive ask for them." "I was just praying all day yesterday that he'd advance past one," Swann says of the Clarke dismissal. "And it was second ball today." So it's a 115-run victory, England's first Ashes win at Lord's since 1934. Wow.
106.6	Swann to Johnson, OUT, gone! That's it! A 75-year-drought ends as Swann gets one through the advancing Johnson
	MG Johnson b Swann 63 (75b 9x4 0x6) SR: 84.00
The field comes in now
106.5	Swann to Johnson, no run, another marvellous ball, drifts in, turns past the bat and narrowly misses off stump
106.4	Swann to Johnson, no run, tossed up again, Johnson drives to cover
106.3	Swann to Johnson, 2 runs, Johnson connects this time, with a slog sweep that is cut off on the boundary by Bopara
106.2	Swann to Johnson, no run, almost! Tosses it up well wide of off, Johnson looks to slog-sweep and it fizzes past the bat
106.1	Swann to Hilfenhaus, 1 run, pushes a single away through cover
End of over 106 (10 runs) Australia 403/9 MG Johnson 61* (70b 9x4) A Flintoff 27-4-92-5 BW Hilfenhaus 3* (3b) GP Swann 27-3-84-3
105.6	Flintoff to Johnson, FOUR, brilliant shot! Nothing more than a defensive push, dug out on the off stump, straight back down the ground for four
105.5	Flintoff to Johnson, no run, excellent delivery on the off stump. Johnson goes back to defend on the back foot
105.4	Flintoff to Johnson, 2 runs, short of a length and pushed off the back foot for one. No - two. Well run
105.3	Flintoff to Johnson, no run, swing and a miss outside off! That was heading into Berkshire if he connected with that. Or Kent. Somewhere outside London. Not far away from edging it either
105.2	Flintoff to Johnson, 2 runs, brilliant yorker! Dug out excellently. That was a fine, fast, deadly delivery
105.1	Flintoff to Johnson, 2 runs, and that's carved out square of the wicket, Johnson playing away from his body here but timing it nicely. This little innings might give him a bit of confidence for the Edgbaston Test, and indeed Australia's warm-up against Northants beforehand

End of over 104 (3 runs) Australia 388/9 A Flintoff 26-4-82-5 MG Johnson 49* (61b 8x4) GP Swann 26-3-79-3
103.6	Flintoff to Siddle, OUT, gone! Flintoff is mobbed by his team-mates here as he angles one in and gets between Siddle's bat and pad, crashes into middle stump! Five-for, for Flintoff, and England are one wicket from a monumental triumph.
	PM Siddle b Flintoff 7 (13b 1x4 0x6) SR: 53.84
103.6	Flintoff to Siddle, 1 no ball, inswinging yorker now, but it's kept out by Siddle and in any case Flintoff has overstepped
103.5	Flintoff to Johnson, 1 run, driven down to mid-off and they hare through for a single
103.4	Flintoff to Johnson, no run, around the wicket now, bangs it in to the hips and Johnson works it to leg
103.3	Flintoff to Siddle, 1 run, flicked away to fine leg
103.2	Flintoff to Siddle, no run, another inducker, Siddle clips to midwicket
