England Draw This Magnificent Series - Even Though Aussies Hang Onto The Ashes.

This morning, England set the Australians an improbable target of 399 to win and then promptly took the requisite ten wickets to earn a 135 run victory and draw the series.
For once, Smith was out for a score of less than 80 as England's bowlers toiled in the sunshine.
A fine fourfer for each of Leach and Broad assisted by a brace from skipper Joe Root saw England home without any need for a fifth day. 
Broad.

                     Phew! How magnificent is Ashes Cricket.
