With England tottering at 87/5, Alec Stewart and Andrew Flintoff (seen in pic) set about a rebuilding task that was vital if their team were to even get close to a defendable total. It required all Stewart's experience and Flintoff's newly found responsibility to settle things down and they profited from the fact that Australian captain Ricky Ponting was forced to rest the immaculate Bichel and employ some lesser bowlers. The partnership between Flintoff (45, 80 balls, three fours, one six) and Stewart (46, 92 balls, one four) realised 90 runs for the sixth wicket.
