Ponting poses with a replica Ashes urn.
"It is probably even more special having lost the Ashes last time," Ponting said.
"Elation is the feeling rather than relief. We've worked hard to get back the Ashes but I'm looking for another couple of good performances in the last two Tests."
England captain Andrew Flintoff paid tribute to the Australian team.
"Australia played well in the three Test matches...full credit to them," Flintoff said.
"There's still two matches to go and we're playing for pride but that's one thing our team has got plenty of."
