I was always under the impression that when Saren died, Sovereign devoted most of his attention to trying to kill Shepard, and when Shep's team stopped the Saren corpse, it sent Sovereign reeling long enough for the fleet to attack.
Murphiroth is correct. For those who for whatever reason never pieced that together, a recent tweet from series lead writer Mac Walters confirmed it.
I don't have it handy right now but I can fetch if given enough time, if requested. I'd hope on B8 most people would take my word at face value, especially since as some of you know I've done some moderating over there on BSN's chatroom.
