Before play gets underway both teams observe a minute's silence for the victims of the bombs in London
Australia strike early on as England opener Andrew Strauss plays on [11] to Michael Kasprowicz's first ball
Glenn McGrath gets in on the action as he traps England captain Michael Vaughan LBW for just one run
Kevin Pietersen hits some glorious shots before becoming the fourth England batsman out with the score on 45
All-rounder Andrew Flintoff comes to England's rescue and soon reaches 50 from 82 balls to take the score to 131-4
Flintoff is out for 87 runs [112 balls] as England finish on 223-8 and Brett Lee's figures are an impressive 5-41
Lee takes the best one-day figures for an Australian at Lord's with his fourth ODI five-wicket haul to restrict England
Darren Gough opens England's bowling attack but concedes 11 runs and bowls Adam Gilchrist with a no-ball
England make a breakthrough as Flintoff gets Adam Gilchrist [29] out caught behind but the tourists are in control
Simon Katich is the next Australian out [30] but Australia still look good with 96 runs on the board from 21 overs
England are put to the sword by Ricky Ponting as he hits form and gets 103 runs from 105 balls for his 18th ODI hundred
Ponting finally falls for 111, but Damien Martyn sees Australia home with plenty to spare to set up Tuesday's decider
