Just when we got a partnership going, we haven't managed to turn it into big one," he said. "We have been outskilled in all aspects, and it is hard to say that. They have been ruthless. It hurts.

Bresnan (12) was the next to go, brilliantly caught by a diving Chris Rogers at mid-off from the bowling of England's chief nemesis Johnson as celebrations by local fans went into full swing.

Not for the first time in the series, it was Johnson who delivered a dagger to English hearts by removing Prior in his third over with the second new ball, ending a 76-run partnership with Stokes.
