England level series with 49 runs win

OVAL: England levelled the Ashes series after a dramatic victory over Australia at the Kia Oval on a day when the action on a rain-affected day equalled any of a memorable five-match campaign.

Stuart Broad, playing in his final Test match, took the final two wickets to fall, having the doughty Todd Murphy caught behind by wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow for the ninth. Murphy had put on 35 for the ninth wicket with Alex Carey, but Broad ended the partnership. Broad then the took the wicket of Carey.

Australia were all out for 334, 49 runs short of the target set by England but retained the Ashes because the Pat Cummins-led side won the previous edition of the series. (Agencies)
