Ashes 2021-22, AUS vs ENG, 4th Test, Day 5: England cling on for a draw in dramatic Sydney Test
India TV NewsHighlights Usman Khawaja was awarded as the player of the match for his 137, 101* in his two innings for AUS. England's tailenders exhibited resilience and denied Australia a win in the fourth Test of the ongoing Ashes series by concluding the Sydney Test in a draw on Sunday. Jack Leach, Stuart Broad and then Jimmy Anderson batted out the final 10 overs under immense pressure, after Pat Cummins and Scott Boland took three quick wickets in the final session before Steve Smith removed Leach with two overs remaining to set up a nervous finale to a gripping test match. With the final hour approaching, Cummins removed Jos Buttler and Mark Wood in the space of three balls to turn the test on its head after it was looking increasingly likely that England would earn a draw after its most determined batting effort of the series. Boland then had Bairstow caught at bat pad to expose England's tail, but Leach and Broad and then Anderson found a way to survive despite up to nine fielders in close catching positions.
