England break 14-year drought, beat Australia in 4th Ashes test

In Cricket, England celebrated their first test win in Australia in 15 years on Saturday as they chased down 175 runs for a four-wicket Ashes victory completed in two manic days at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Though the hosts had already locked away the urn after three straight victories in Perth, Brisbane and Adelaide, Ben Stokes’s men gave their travelling army of fans a consolation prize for staying loyal through the depths of a mostly dismal tour.

England scored at more than five runs per over during their run chase and even promoted fast bowler Brydon Carse to bat at No.3 in the search for quick runs and still managed to score the highest score of the match in the fourth innings of the contest. It was England's first Test victory over Australia away from home since they won the fifth Test in Sydney in January 2011, breaking a drought of 5468 days and almost 15 years Down Under in the process as they reduced the series deficit on the hosts with one match remaining. Their nerves were jangling when England were reduced to 165 for six, 10 runs short of victory, but Harry Brook (18 not out) and Jamie Smith (three not out) held on, with the winning run taken with four leg byes off pace bowler Mitchell Starc.The fifth and final Test of the Ashes series commences at the Sydney Cricket Ground on January 4.
