England won the toss and elected to bat at a cloudy, but dry Chester-Le-Street with an unchanged side. With the Ashes in their pockets, thanks to the draw in Manchester, England were hoping to keep the Australians winless in the series. The Australians made one change in the quickie, Jackson Bird, who came in for Mitchell Starc. The pitch was hard and dry and swing was expected.
England put up a first innings score of 238 runs, all out and Australia replied with 270 all out. England’s second innings delivered 330 runs, all out.
On Day 4 the target set for Australia in their 2nd innings was 299 to win the match. Australia started well and with over a third of the runs in the bag, they lost their 1st wicket, then in the early 170’s they lost the plot and lost a number of wickets in the space of a few runs. After that the wickets kept falling in regular intervals and almost at close of play on Day 4 England bagged the last wicket to win by 74 runs.
England 238 All Out (92 overs) & 330 All Out (95.1 overs)
Australia 270 All Out (89.3 overs) & 224 All Out (68.3 overs)
England won by 74 runs

Morning all, weather looking great at Durham, England already having to fight a little, already – Watson with Root to his name in the first hour or so, and the runs not flowing! Ball moving nicely, with a number of very near edges, or edges not carrying.
Very quiet morning for England up to lunch, going at a tad over 2/over
Australia have been doing the business, again, today. Englands batting line up have not been up to it this series. Australia must really ruing their chances, because apart from the second test, have generally looked the better side
Hello oh dear Prior out
England 189/7 Prior LBW Siddle 17
I’ll rephrase that (as another wicket falls), Englands batting is woeful!
@ Bullscot:Hi, Bully, this batting is shameful, an embarrassment to say the least. I fear that England have been a tad too smug this series, and they’re getting their come-uppance now, from a very average side.
Bairstow LBW? Referred
Looks out to me
….and given. Too bad, another simple wicket gone, and England in all sorts of doo-doo!
Sorry it was my mistake it was 189/6
Take nothing away from the Aussies, they have said that they have worked out the batsmen, and have proved, conclusively, over the last 2 tests that they have. They must be rueing not using Lyons earlier! Eng 193/7
@ Just For Kicks:
Hi JFK yes the batting has not been too good for England not enough consistency
To underline what u saying JFK England have only had 2 scores above 67 in this Ashes the centuries by Root and KP!
Tea time here will have a look later, also will check the rugby score in that game, Sharks should win
@ Bullscot:Yes, the top order have failed dismally, and this revered middle order hasn’t turned up at all. It’s been down to the bowlers, and the Aussies showed last match, that they are getting the better of them at the moment too. I think England missed a big trick by not picking Onions, the bowling attack needed an injection. I feel that the Aussie batsmen are going to annihilate the poms.
Englands tail doesn’t look like it is about to wag, either. SCJ Broad c Warner b Harris 3 (12b 0x4 0x6) SR: 25.00. Eng 197/8
Another stupid shot, it must be said.
It may be Englands day yet, they only need 1 run to get to 200!!!
Australia take the second new ball in the 84th over. Harris with the cherry
Well, England finish the day on 238/9. The only positive thing to say, is that I don’y think any side – county or otherwise – has score over 250 in an innings this year in this ground (I could well be wrong, of course!), so that is something to keep in mind. It does not, however, detract from the plummet downhill of the England side as the series has progressed, countered by the will of an Aussie side in the making.
Well, tomorrow brings another day.
Aus 76/4 after 23 overs.
England couldn’t add to their overnight score.
Broad has taken 3/23.
Flip I can see his head swelling from here. Cocky shytster.
Yup, Sally’s head will be so big, he won’t have enough curlers! Aus 103/4
Tea Day 2. Aus 148/4
SR Watson c †Prior b Broad 68 (134b 7×4 0x6) SR: 50.74. Aus 205/5
Kickers, I updated the Scores till stumps of Day 2.
@ grootblousmile: Thanks GBS, had to go out, just checked in, but see you’d done it.
Aus 270 all out.
England 17/0 after 5.5 overs.
Oops. Root gone for 2.
17/1
England in a spot of bother at 68/3 in their second innings – a lead of 36 runs. Cook and Trott also out. Bell on 7 and Pietersen 12 at the crease. Harris has taken all 3 wickets for Australia
