Exciting doesn’t do it justice!! I think 99.99% of English fans had written them off after being bowled out for 67 and then on the final day, England still needed 73 runs when the last man came in, so what hope would you have given them - despite Australia having at least three good chances to take the last wicket, somehow England survived to keep the Ashes dream alive.

Ashes 2019: England level series after beating Australia in final Test

England ended their memorable summer by earning a 2-2 draw in the Ashes with a 135-run defeat of Australia in the fifth Test.

On a beautifully sunny day at The Oval, England set Australia 399 to win and bowled them out for 263 to square the contest with their oldest enemies in a year when they lifted the World Cup for the first time.

Australia retain the urn they won in 2017-18 but miss out on a first series win in England since 2001, while an Ashes series is drawn for the first time in 47 years........
