A 1-0 lead going into the 4th test.
August 5th, 2009
Unfortunately England weren’t able to convert a strong position going into the final day into a 2-0 series lead. Australia put in a gutsy batting performance to see out the last day of the Edgbaston test which means that England now take a 1-0 lead into the 4th test at Headingley in Leeds.
As Australia are the current holders of the Ashes they only need a series draw to retain them - England need the series win. Basically England need to win one of the last two tests or to draw them both to regain the Ashes - it’s certainly still all to play for so come on England!
