- Gerald Huang made his 100th wicket against Philip Mann in the Third innings and made his 50th century in the Fourth innings.
England started off strong on the first day, with Jason Crokes and Sam Hart making 54 runs before Hart was dismissed on 35. Australia then knocked out Sam Schofield (7) and David Feldman (13) in quick sessions. Crokes and Tims made 143 runs before Huang knocked out Tims on 91 and Crokes on 93. Australia then made 4 quick wickets to end the day on 9/287.
Early on Day Two, Huang knocked over the remaining wicket, making only two runs to the total. In reply, Australia made 67 runs to the first wicket when Marcus Pierre made 31 runs from 56 deliveries. England soon after took the rest at the end of Day Two, making 10/176.
On Day Three, England made a steady start with the first wicket falling after a 34 run partnership. Soon after, Australia took the remaining wickets to start batting after Drinks. Australia started poorly losing two wickets (Marcus Pierre on 3 and Edson Wu on 14) within the first five overs before Huang and Treadswell put up 123 run partnership before Treadswell fell for 56 to end Day Three.
On Day Four, England quickly knocked out 6 wickets to make 9/220 just before the last over. The last over became one of the most fascinating overs in Ashes history. They needed 4 runs off the last 6 deliveries to win the Ashes urn back after 3 years. Huang was the batsman of the last six balls and McMillan was the bowler. The first ball came five minutes before the end of the day. Huang made a dot ball. The second ball was bowled when Australia still needed four runs to win. The third ball was bowled and Huang made a dot ball. When the fourth ball was bowled, he made two runs. The fifth ball was bowled and he made a dot ball.
Huang needed 2 runs to win off the last ball. When the last ball of the day was bowled, he made two runs with the second run almost run out. It was a photo finish win to Australia. The umpires took it upstairs with Huang making it safe just before the bails were knocked over by 4 milliseconds. It took 4 minutes for the result to go Australia's way.
