To have scraped a draw from the fourth Ashes Test in Sydney will have felt like a victory for England.
Nine wickets down in the final over, with last man James Anderson asked to survive – it doesn’t come much closer than that.
But Anderson did survive, and for England to halt the Australian juggernaut when the home side were hunting yet another 5-0 clean sweep is no small feat.
No one will be getting carried away or popping the champagne corks. England remain 3-0 down and the Ashes are gone.
However, Joe Root’s side could have rolled over in the final two Tests and they have dug deep to ensure that is not the case.
