England avoid Ashes whitewash after surviving in fourth Test with Australia

• Test 4, day 5: Australia 416-8d & 265-6d; England 294 & 270-9
• Broad and Anderson see England home with one wicket to spare

England have avoided an Ashes whitewash after surviving a late onslaught from Australia's bowling attack to draw the fourth Test in Sydney with one wicket to spare.

After thumping defeats in Brisbane, Adelaide and Melbourne, the tourists stopped the rot in the tensest possible fashion at the SCG. Veteran tailenders Stuart Broad and Jimmy Anderson saw England to safety, following the dismissal of Jack Leach with two overs to spare and Jonny Bairstow, who was gone for 41 from 105 balls when he popped a catch to silly mid-off off the irrepressible Scott Boland.
