Only requiring another 209 runs to win, Australia hopes were high with Michael Clarke on 136 and Brad Haddin on 80. England broke the partnership early with Haddin caught by Paul Collingwood off the bowling of Andrew Flintoff. Flintoff then got the wickets of Nathan Hauritz and Peter Siddle to claim his first five-wicket-haul at Lord's, on his final appearance as a Test player at the ground. With one wicket needed to win, Mitchell Johnson aggressively powered to 61, before he was clean-bowled by Graeme Swann to wrap up England's Test victory at 12:42pm.

This was the first time England won an Ashes test at Lord's since 1934.
