Australia retained the Ashes after beating England by 185 runs in the final session of the fourth test at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Josh Hazlewood claimed the winning wicket, trapping Craig Overton LBW, as Australia dismissed England’s second innings for 197 deep into the evening session to take a 2-1 lead in the five-match series.

Australia star batter Steve Smith was player of the match. As the holder, Australia only needs to draw the series to keep cricket’s famous urn.
