Live Cricket Score – Australia vs England, 4th Ashes Test, Day 5
January 08 2022 by Cricbuzz Staff
Australia set England 388 to win.
There are still some clouds around.
Build up:Australia need 10 wickets to win; England need 358 runs to win. Or the more likely direction for them is to bat out three sessions to pull off a draw and deny Australia hopes of a whitewash.
Hello and welcome to the fifth and final day of the fourth Ashes Test from Sydney. Rain on the opening day ensured the game has stretched into the final day. We’ve seen lots of ups and downs in this Test, but more ups than the latter. We finally saw some English grit and fightback, with Jonny Bairstow leading the way with a spectacular century – the first for England this series.
But what better a story than that of Usman Khawaja who made a return to Australia’s Test side after 2019 and has scored tons in both innings? He’s as good as sealed his spot in the XI, with Marcus Harris’s spot now in serious danger.
Can Australia pick up the required 10 wickets across three sessions? Will we get to see another fightback from England? The openers have done well so far to have negotiated the required 11 overs last evening. Can they carry on? All that and more when play begins in a bit.
