Ponting keeps Eng at bay

AFP, Manchester
Andrew Flintoff nudged England closer to victory, and a 2-1 Ashes series lead, on the final day of the third Test against Australia at Old Trafford here Monday.
At tea the tourists were 216 for five, still needing a further 207 to reach their record victory target of 423 after Flintoff had taken three for 50.
But Australia captain Ricky Ponting was still there with 91 not out and Michael Clarke, batting in spite of the back problem that had sidelined him for most of the match, was unbeaten on 20.
There were a minimum of 42 overs to be bowled in the final session, Australia needing to score at a rate of less than five an over with five wickets standing.
Just when the game was in danger of meandering towards stalemate pace bowling all-rounder Flintoff, in front of his Lancashire home crowd, struck twice to remove Simon Katich and Adam Gilchrist as England attempted to win back-to-back Ashes Tests for the first time in 20 years.
Australia began after lunch on 121 for two with Ponting 41 not out and Damien Martyn 17 not out after openers Justin Langer and Matthew Hayden had fallen in the morning.
Martyn though was lbw on the backfoot to fast bowler Stephen Harmison for 19. Replays suggested the batsman may have got an inside edge first but experienced West Indies umpire Steve Bucknor raised his finger andAustralia were 129 for three.
Ponting then completed a 103-ball fifty with one six and four fours
and repeatedly punished left-arm spinner Ashley Giles when he dropped short.
But England saw the back of Katich for 12 when his drive off Flintoff was caught by Giles, above his head, at third slip.
And Flintoff made it a personal return of two wickets for six runs in 29 balls when he had the out-oftouch Gilchrist caught by Ian Bell in the gully for four as Australia declined to 182 for five.
Australia resumed Monday on 24 without loss in front of a 23,000 capacity crowd, knowing no side had made more to win in the fourth innings of a Test than the 418 for seven West Indies scored against Australia at St John's,Antigua in 2002-03.
Langer was 14 not out and fellow left-hander Hayden five not out after England had declared their second innings Sunday on 280 for six, an innings featuring Andrew Strauss's 106 -- the left-handed opener's first Test hundred against Australia.
England only had to wait until the second over of the day to make a breakthrough, seamer Matthew Hoggard's first ball seeing Langer edge for his overnight score to wicket-keeper Geraint Jones.
Flintoff, bowling from around the wicket, had left-hander Hayden twice edging through the slip cordon.
But Hayden's luck ran out when Flintoff bowled him behind his legs for 36 to end a stand of 71 with Ponting that had taken Australia to 96 for two.
