In a remarkable turnaround, England triumphed over Australia in the fourth Ashes Test, ending an 18-match winless streak in Australia. The victory came after a gripping two-day contest at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Saturday, providing redemption for England after losing the first three matches.
