Kevin Pietersen (28) and Geraint Jones (30) gave England some breathing space after a frantic first half an hour of the evening session saw Glenn McGrath grabbed five wickets in just 31 balls to turn the Test on its head after the visitors were bowled out for 190 in 40.2 overs. He whipped out all five of the English wickets to fall in a five-over spell.

McGrath dismissed Trescothick (4), Andrew Strauss (2), Michael Vaughan (3), Ian Bell (6) and Andrew Flintoff for a duck as England collapsed to 21-5.
