England Win an Ashes Test Down Under!

After 5,468 days, England have broken their losing streak Down Under and claimed victory at the MCG.

It was another Test on fast forward as the competition was wrapped up in two days with 20 wickets falling on Day 1. Thanks to an extra couple of millimetres of grass left on the pitch, it was all about the bowling as a reverse of Perth, with the result this time falling in England’s favour after opting to field first, came to pass. The win will give England some confidence heading to Sydney for the final Test of the series, where they will hope to wrap up their campaign 3-2 to have some positives to talk about when they head home.

England Win an Ashes Test Down Under! – Round The Stumps Podcast

5,468 days was the wait for England to secure their first Ashes Test win down under since taking the urn home from their successful 2010/11 series. Another Test wrapped up in two days on what has been deemed an 'unsatisfactory' surface by the ICC, but it moves the scorecard to 3-1 and avoids England's fourth whitewash on the bounce. We talk about all things Melbourne as well as looking ahead to Sydney where England will be pushing hard for a 3-2 result but Australia will be rueing some mistakes and have the bit between their teeth to secure a 4-1.
