The 2025-26 edition of The Ashes is nearing its conclusion with the fifth and the final Test match of the series being played at the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground. The match is nothing but a dead rubber as far as the series is concerned, but surprisingly, it has turned out to be the most competitive match of the ongoing Ashes. Australia have already taken an unassailable 3-1 lead in the series and have defended the urn.

England, for once in this series let go of their Bazball template, a style that clearly did not work in the ongoing Ashes and piled up a mammoth 384 runs, but it was Steve Smith and Travis Head's partnership and contrasting style of batting that kept the Aussies in the game and helped them secure a lead.
