There was one more moment for Keane as he latched on to Peter Crouch's flick and shot through the legs of Jensen, the ball squirming over the line off the woodwork, and rather summing up Burnley's misery.
The crowd was urging Flintoff to take his first five-wicket haul at Lord's, and having ripped out Nathan Hauritz's off stump when the off-spinner played no shot, he came off a shortened run and blew away Peter Siddle.
