Match Coverage

'Better bowl some Lindwalls'

Offspinner Keith Slater also bowled pace, and dismissed Peter May three times in three innings. But despite his talents, he only played one Test for Australia

Advantage Australia

England, knowing that defeat would mean the loss of the Ashes, fought with more spirit after another first-innings breakdown had put them in serious danger, and emerged with an honourable draw.
