England ended a 15-year wait for a Test win in Australia with a fighting four-wicket victory to clinch a chaotic fourth Ashes clash that finished inside two dramatic days at the MCG.
The fired-up visitors bundled Australia out for 132 soon after lunch in front of a 92,045 crowd, setting up a chase of 175. Despite nerves and regular setbacks, England held their composure firmly, with Harry Brook’s assured 18 and Jamie Smith’s calm three guiding them home with four wickets down. The result restored pride to Ben Stokes’ side and kept the series alive with renewed belief and momentum.
