BBC CRICKET: "Captain Andrew Strauss admitted England lacked a cutting edge as the third Test with Australia ended in a draw.

"We came to the ground with high hopes that we might force a victory, but the wicket had died," Strauss said.

"We just couldn't get it swinging, and that made a difference. We tried other options but it just wasn't to be."

On the fitness of Andrew Flintoff for Friday's fourth Test he added: "Freddie seems OK. We're still pretty optimistic he'll be OK for Headingley...."
