ENG vs AUS Ashes 2025: England Won 4th Test At Melbourne
Fans were very excited about this match played in Melbourne. A large number of fans arrived at the MCG on the first and second days. However, the match ended on the second day itself. England, being the visiting team, won the toss and elected to bowl first, and they bowled out Australia for just 152 runs in their first innings.
After that, the English batsmen couldn’t do anything special either. Their first innings also ended at just 110 runs. But England then made a comeback, bowling out the Kangaroos for 132 runs in their second innings. This left England with a target of 175 runs in the final innings, which they achieved with the loss of 6 wickets.
Happened Only Twice In 100 years
This is only the second time in the last 100 years that an Ashes Test has ended in just two days. This had previously happened in the first match of this series in Perth. The first match of the 2025-26 Ashes series also ended in two days, which Australia won.
Before these two matches, the last time an Ashes Test match ended in two days was in 1921 in Nottingham. And that was more than 100 years ago. In the history of the Ashes Test series, there have been seven instances where a Test match has finished in just two days.
