Well as i type this, England have lost their 4th wicket with Ben Stokes holing out to an excellent Mitchell Starc bouncer and Nathan Lyon pulling off another good catch in the deep - scores currently are England 93 runs for 4 wickets and chasing 271 to win - a really tough ask.

Having bowled Australia for 155 in their 2nd innings which included an inspired bowling display by Mark Wood of England with 6 for 37.

A tough series without doubt and regardless of today's result, Australia have been superb and in Scott Boland and Cameron Green - they have unearthed two very fine bowlers to test cricket.

Congratulations to Australia on winning the ashes and for being by far the better team this winter.

The series will either be 4-1 Australia (my bet) or an unlikely 3-1 Australia if England pull off a miracle and win this final test.

Yes - us poms got our thoughts mixed up thinking the drawn 4th test was a win - (it felt like it) - but the series is over and Australia have in fact wrapped up a 4-0 win, no whitewash but it still feels like one.
Fantastic work by Australia and fully deserved - lots of work to do for England as this series has shown there to be a serious issue in the runs scoring department...
