AUS vs ENG 5th Test – Day 5
Updated:Australia won by 5 wickets.
| Australia | England |
| 567& 161/5 | 384&342 |
Australia sealed a 4-1 Ashes triumph with a nervy but controlled five-wicket chase at the SCG, fittingly messy for a series full of false starts. England sensed chaos when Australia slipped to 92 for 3, then again after Marnus Labuschagne’s run-out, but Alex Carey and Cameron Green shut the door with calm, decisive batting. Carey capped a standout series, while Mitchell Starc’s 31 wickets earned him Player of the Series. England fought harder late, yet missed chances and first-innings waste left them chasing shadows once more.
Australia wrap up the #Ashes in dramatic fashion at the SCG.

Ben Stokes had the last word after a fiery exchange with Marnus Labuschagne late on day two at the SCG, turning tension into a decisive moment. Words were traded after Travis Head took consecutive boundaries, Stokes visibly irritated before briefly putting an arm around Labuschagne as umpires intervened. Five balls later, Stokes responded the only way captains truly can, drawing a thick edge from Labuschagne on 48 and having him caught in the gully. The stare said enough. In a fifth Test heavy with fatigue and emotion, Stokes’ wicket was not just tactical, it was personal, and it shifted the tone of the evening decisively in England’s favour.
Jacob Bethell put up a brilliant 142* to give England a handy lead heading into day five. #Ashes

Harry Brook’s compulsive hooking at the SCG summed up both the risk and logic of his modern Test batting. Where Steve Waugh once removed shots to survive, Brook leans into discomfort, choosing aggression as control. Australia repeatedly tested his throat, and Brook rode his luck with top-edges, mistimed pulls, and near-misses, yet still reached stumps unbeaten and England’s leading run-scorer in the series. The approach costs him runs and wickets at times, but it also shifts pressure, disrupts plans, and creates momentum. In today’s Test cricket, that chaos is not recklessness, it is role clarity.
Joe Root and Harry Brook put on England’s best partnership of the #Ashes so far before weather interrupted the day’s play.
