The Sun has it's say

England wallowed in its shock loss to Australia, the local media accusing their team of snatching defeat from the jaws of a morale winning victory.

"The dismal thing for England fans is the manner of defeat. The batsmen, as Lawrence Booth wrote here, had fear in their eyes," said Guardian commentator Tim De Lisle.

Michael Clark played himself back into the Test team with a solid 123 as Australia ground out 513.

The match is almost certain to end a draw, with England 1/59 and only one day to go.

The pitch continues to offer near perfect batting conditions, although England was getting some reverse swing going and Warne some spin.

The test ends tomorrow.

Martyn's 78 wins him man of the matchMartyn's 78 wins him man of the match

England Captain, Andrew Flintoff has played down Englands six wicket loss to Australia in yesterdays one day Champion's trophy match.

"I'm disappointed," Flintoff said.

"One thing in the build-up to the game was people trying to link it to the Ashes. We took this game in isolation, as a must-win game for both sides to stay in the tournament.

"The Ashes will start in three weeks time when we get to Australia."

"I can assure you we take both forms of cricket seriously. We're a proud team, we want to win a game of cricket," he said, referring to the final Group A tie against holders West Indies.
