Read our privacy policy England’s suffered Ashes agony at Emirates Old Trafford, as their hopes of taking a memorable series to a winner-takes-all decider fell foul of the weather. The fifth and final day of the fourth Test was abandoned without a ball being bowled, leaving a dominant home side unable to pick up the hunt for the last five Australian wickets. While England fans know all too well about one-day cricket’s tie-breakers – having needed a super over and a boundary countback to pip New Zealand to the 2019 World Cup – Test cricket has no problem with the draw. 2005: Eng won 2-1 2009: Eng won 2-1 2013: Eng won 3-0 2015: Eng won 3-2 2019: Drawn 2-2 The last Australia side to win in England did so back in 2001, meaning the current class has a chance to do something a generation of their compatriots could not.
