England finally won a Test match against Australia at Lord’s, their first in 75 years. With this win, they go 1 up in the 5 match series.
Australia appeared to have lost its 4th day rhythm and as a result lost Haddin in the second over of the morning. From then on, Flintoff bullied the tail-enders into submission and earned his first 5 for in 4 years.
Though it was Swann who took the important wicket of Clarke, this win is sure to be talked about as a win crafted by Flintoff. For the record, England won by 115 runs. Flintoff took 5 for 92 and Swann took 4 for 86.
As Ponting rightly commented to the TMS team, it was just one match of the series and with 3 more to go one expects the Australians to come back strong.

MICHAEL CLARKS WICKET WAS THE LAST STRAW.
Exactly, it was critical. That is why I value Swann's bowling highly.(In this innings.)
