Australia has retained the Ashes as the fourth Test at Old Trafford ended in a draw due to rain. England needed five wickets to force a win, while Australia needed 61 runs to force England to bat again. The match was in favor of England for most of the game, led by Ben Stokes, but rain prevented any play on the fifth day. This is the first draw for England under Stokes’ leadership. Australia now has a chance to win the series in England for the first time since 2001. England will be looking to win the fifth and final Ashes Test to end the series on a high. Rain disrupted play on both day four and day five, and the match had to be called off. Former England captain Nasser Hussain described it as the worst way to end England’s chances of regaining the Ashes. The final scores were Australia 317 and 214/5, and England 592.
