The Lancashire all-rounder claimed five for 92 to secure England's 115-run triumph and claim their first Lord's Ashes win since 1934.

But Flintoff has warned England not to get carried away by their 1-0 series lead and said: "The worst thing now is to sit back and dine out on this."

He added: "We can enjoy it, but we've got to move on to Edgbaston.

"We know Australia and they keep coming back and back at you, they have got so many special players in their dressing room so if we think for even one second that our job is done we'll get found out."

Flintoff's display, bowling unchanged for 10 overs from the Pavilion End, ended speculation that after announcing he was retiring from Test cricket at the end of this series that he was also playing his final Test after experiencing discomfort with his problematic right knee.

"I've got three to go and I've only played one," he stressed. "You hear what's been said and it's never been my intention to bow out at Lord's.

"I want to be in an Ashes-winning team come the last Test match at The Oval. To be on that podium at the last Test will be the perfect way for me to go."
