Result:
Australia 445 (North 110, Clarke 93, Ponting 78 Broad 6-91) beat England 102 and 263 (Swann 62, Broad 61, Johnson 5-69 Hilfenhaus 4-60) by an innings and 80 runs

Player of the match: MJ North (Australia)

Australia wins the 4th Ashes Test against England by an innings and 80 runs to level the Ashes series with 1-1 with one match remaining. England resumed in an impossible position 261 runs from making Australia bat again with only five wickets left. England lost the match due to middle order collapse and also due to poor batting.

Australia have complete their 10th Ashes victory in their last 11 contests. It had threatened to be England’s worst defeat at home, but the partneship between Stuart Broad(61) and Graeme Swann(62) helped England to reduce the margin of runs. Mitchell Johnson had the honour of sewing up the contest with his fifth wicket of a resurgent performance, when he bowled Graham Onions for a duck to confirm his return to his best and most hostile form.
