Over 32. 4 runs. Bowler: Will Jacks. Australia: 161/5(rr 5.03)

Four runs. FOUR! Will Jacks to Alex Carey. Off break length ball, off stump on the front foot driving, well timed past deep extra cover for 4 runs. That's the winning runs. Australia win the series 4-1 and start the year 2026 on a high with an Ashes series victory. A few wickets were lost along the way, but Cameron Green and Alex Carey knocked off the remaining runs in commanding fashion. It was a huge effort from England throughout the series, but they lost a few crunch moments and didn't handle certain pressure situations well. Still, a first Test win in Australia since the 2010-11 series will heal the wounds somewhat. Josh Tongue was impressive in the three Tests he played, picking up 18 wickets, while Brydon Carse and Ben Stokes were warriors for their team. With the bat, Joe Root ticked off two hundreds in Australia, and Jacob Bethell showed there could be a new star for England on the horizon. An amazing series full of highlights comes to an end from Starc's first-over strike to Travis Head's Perth masterclass, Alex Carey's outstanding work behind the stumps, Pat Cummins' one-off Test to clinch the Ashes, Steve Smith's Test hundred at his home ground, and Usman Khawaja's emotional farewell. With all the hype, expectations, and the brand of cricket both teams displayed, this series has inspired fans all over the world. Travis Head is named Player of the Match, while Mitchell Starc takes Player of the Series honours for his superb haul of 31 wickets.
