On what was now a very flat and slow wicket Tim Bresnan bowled a superb spell of accurate and fast reverse swing to rip the heart out of the Australian batting line up and put the Ashes firmly in the grab of the English. Brought in to replace the leading wicket taker of the series Steven Finn Bresnan kept things tight and built the pressure on the Australian batsmen. He had Shane Watson LBW, Rick Ponting bowled and Mike Hussey LBW. After the Hussey dismissal he had figures of 3-11 of 10.5 overs.
