The Ashes summer once again ends with an emphatic Australian scoreline - a 4-1 series win off the back of 4-0 in 2021/22

A Test was completed inside two days for the second time in the series as England dismissed their hosts and then sprinted to a target of 175

After winning their first Ashes test on Australian soil since 2010, England look to restore further respectability with victory at the SCG whilst Australia are aiming to finish a successful series on a high.

England has won the toss and chosen to bat first against Australia in the fifth and final Ashes test at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Sunday amid a strong police and security presence. England called up speedster Matthew Potts after Gus Atkinson pulled up lame during the Boxing Day test in its only change.

Joe Root successfully put a target on Scott Boland four years ago. At the SCG, Boland finally had his revenge.

The internet went wild as Australia dominated with the bat, led by Travis Head and Steve Smith, and England crumbled in the dying embers of the Ashes.
