Australia lead the series 3-1. Today's result has been great for the series. Three dead rubbers would have been too many in a series that already has one match too many. Peter English's bulletin has been updated. It definitely wasn't Australia's Day.
The next game is at the Gabba on January 30. Join us then. Cheers!

Tremlett to Smith, 2 runs
full ball and Smith blazes it towards deep cover where Morgan sprints to his right and dives to make the save. He ball slips out of his grasp as he is sliding but he keeps his calm to grab it again. Terrific effort and the throw back to Tremlett is top class. Tremlett broke the stumps and that was a close run out call. Why didn't anyone appeal? Smith looks short of his ground
