LONDON - Matthew Wade's defiant century proved in vain as England bowled Australia out for 263 to win the final test at The Oval by 135 runs on Sunday and ensure the first drawn Ashes series since 1972.
Australia, chasing a stiff target of 399, lost the wickets of Marcus Harris, David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne in the morning after England had added 16 runs to their overnight score of 313 for eight. Australia took lunch on 68 for three and their victory chances plummeted further with Smith's dismissal.
The 30-year-old missed the third test because he was suffering from concussion symptoms after being struck on the neck by a Jofra Archer bouncer in the second match at Lord's.
