Thats was a close one, but in the end the England tail batted quite responsibly
Sam Parkinson commended all his team, particularly Jimmy Anderson, who batted so courageously for four balls after the tea interval.
Nick Agger could barely speak after the pressure of the final ninety minutes, managing only to say "I really believed we would hang on."
Thats all the cricket for now, we'll see you at The Oval for the crucial fifth Test.
Australia 305 & 198
England 284 & 222/9
England won by 1 wickets
Man of the match: Varun Rustagi

Well played England. Australia's top order batsmen were not upto the mark releasing immense pressure on the middle order however, I thought it 111 runs added by the last four wickets of England in the first innings that made the difference. They have a long long batting lineup with capable bowlers which is proving to the difference between Australia and England.

Yes, pulling it back a bit to set up a thrilling final test 
. We're going g to have to go into this one unchanged I think, not many other options around really that could improve on our team now and Rustagi scored some.

Aman Starc comes in for Parker. Tough move this but Parker got out on a duck on both the occasions alongside two average outings with the ball.

Crouse comes in and takes the gloves to start to show whether he can nail down a spot there unlike the test series. We're hopeful Rustagi will convert his test form to the top of the order as well!
