Wednesday's result came too late to save the series but, instead of facing the prospect of a five-match whitewash at Lord's in Saturday's finale, world champions Australia could now end the contest just 3-2 behind.
Vice-captain Michael Clarke (99 not out) and Ponting (92) were back in the runs at the The Oval, their stand of 155 taking Australia to 290 for five -- the highest score by either side this series.
