Offie Swann leaves Australia in a spin
Graeme Swann took four wickets as England pushed for a series win over Australia by dismissing the tourists for just 212 in the third one-day international on Sunday.
Off-spinner Swann took 4/37 in 10 overs in an innings where only Shane Watson (61) passed fifty and captain Ricky Ponting was out for his lowest score of the tour.
Together with left-arm spinner Michael Yardy (1/45) he checked Australia’s progress after the tourists started briskly. James Anderson then finished off the innings with a burst of three for five in seven balls, on his way to final figures of three for 22 in eight overs, as world champs Australia were bowled out with four overs remaining.
