Australia vs England: The 4th test of the Ashes played at Sydney ended in a hard-fought draw. English tail-enders Stuart Broad and James Anderson survived the last two overs without losing the last wicket and helped England avoid a clean sweep. Australia is 3-0 up in the series with the final test to be a day/night Test at Hobart.

Since the start of day 5, the match was heading towards a draw. However, Pat Cummins took two wickets with the second new ball in an over and created a chance for an Australian victory.

On the 4th of the ball of the 85th over, Cummins bowled a full delivery to Jos Buttler which shaped back in late. Buttler looked to play the ball straight but his bat flicked his front pad which opened the face of his bat, and the ball managed to sneak in through the gap. Umpire originally adjudged it not out but captain Cummins went for the review and in the replay, it was seen that the ball bushed through his back leg, and he was given out by the third umpire. 

Mark Wood came in to bat and survived the next ball but was dismissed by the on-fire Australian on the last ball of the same over. Cummins bowled a perfect inswinging toe-crusher yorker which left Wood imbalanced and clueless. Umpire gave it out without any hesitation and Pat Cummins along with his teammates burst out in an emphatic celebration.

Although when it looked like Australia can win this match, Jonny Bairstow struggled at the crease for a bit and when he was dismissed, Stuart Broad and James Anderson avoided a defeat at the Sydney test for the English side.
