With a thrilling victory in the fourth England vs Australia Ashes Test Series 2025 Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), England has finally ended its protracted drought in Australia. This victory has thrilled cricket fans all over the world and represents England’s first Test victory on Australian soil in 15 years and 19 matches.
The match, which concluded in just two days, was nothing short of spectacular. Australia scored 152 runs while batting first, while England fell to 110. Australia was bowled out for just 132 in the second innings, leaving England with a target of 175. Late on Day 2, the visitors won by four wickets after chasing it down with six wickets lost.
The outcome was shaped by key performances. Australia’s captain Steve Smith scored 24 and Travis Head scored 46. With Josh Tongue taking two wickets, Ben Stokes taking three, and Brydon Carse taking four, England’s bowlers dominated. With the help of Zak Crawley (37) and Ben Duckett (34), Jacob Bethell led the chase with 40, ensuring England crossed the finish line with assurance.
Australia still leads the five-match series 3–1, but this victory avoided a total whitewash. It was one of the most chaotic Ashes Tests ever, according to analysts, and it was one of the few two-day finishes in the competition’s history. After losing the first three games and receiving harsh criticism, the victory also gives England a sense of pride again.
England’s spirits have been raised, and supporters are looking forward to another outstanding performance with the final Test in Sydney still to come. This Melbourne victory will go down in Ashes cricket history, regardless of how the series turns out.
