Mel Jones is joined by Nasser Hussain and Dinesh Karthik as they discuss the fourth day of the five Ashes Test between England and Australia. Stuart Broad's guard of honour in his final ever match was a major talking point as he hit his final ball for six, while Australia made a strong start to their chase of 384, reaching 135-0 before rain brought about an early end to play.

You can easily make out from Naseer’s facial expressions that Aussies are 135-0 at close of play 😅, it is so visible & evident 😅😅😅

[@Seanc74]

Fell like dominoes this afternoon. 2-2 and Broad with the final wicket…

[@ArniItsOnlyArnab]

@@Seanc74 pure magic! Fairytale ending!

[@Seanc74]

@@ArniItsOnlyArnab spot on. It was fantastic

[@calebg8787]

I think Australia's 1st innings is proving itself to be smart given the context of a 5 match series. They could have turned over the strike more but soaking up the extra 40odd overs is showing in the performances of English seamers & Woods apparent injury

[@maxmaxwell343]

Turning over the strike would have taken extra energy out of the England bowlers as they need to move around the field after a single

[@stevenp2309]

The whole narrative around this series has been framed from an Englush perspective. DK saying Broad not getting Warmer was "anti-climactic". I think Warner hitting a century in a chase of 380 is very "Climactic" but you'd have to see the game from a non english perspective to see that.

[@liamgross7217]

Warner needs a hundred and a big hundred would be better. Then he can flip the bird at us all.

[@eggeggeggeggeggeggeggegg]

England have been very poor hosts this ashes series and it has been very disappointing. Another instance of abuse from the crowd to Khawaja and Marnus.

[@julianhignell8452]

@@eggeggeggeggeggeggeggegg wow! Have you heard Australian fans down under? 🙄

[@eggeggeggeggeggeggeggegg]

@@julianhignell8452 yep, and never have embarrassed themselves like the English have in multiple tests in an ashes!

[@Shoaiblone50]

What a brilliant ashes series we have had until the last day we don't know who will win the last test. Imagine if the weather stayed well in manchester it would have been the greatest ashes series of all time

[@Matthew-bu7fg]

for me it still is the greatest ashes series of all time. Three matches have been won by a nominal amount of runs or a couple of wickets... this test could be the same and the other match was a draw. I can't think of an ashes test series that beats this

[@rahulmenon4557]

DK seems so comfortable and smoothly articulate with the SKY Sports team. Very nice ❤

[@SocialPerspective101]

Ya not embarrassing at least !

[@antonisapostolou5139]

So when finally Australia put in a decent display with the bat, the weather comes to England's rescue. But overall the best series I've watched in many a year.

[@jacobkuntflapp]

Nice gesture by the Australians.

[@delmaroeton9566]

3 - 1 sounds very very nice. Great effort so far from our Aussie Test Team.

[@realMaverickBuckley]

It'll be 2-1 I think. 2-2 would've been fair... BUT... is there any such thing as fair in cricket? Is it fair that Australia has cricket weather 9 months of the year to England's 3 months. Is it fair that England uses (normally) a moving ball? The result is the result,but it's been way closer than I thought it would. I thiught the Aussies would DOMINATE the English.

[@mahit7037]

@@thiru_asc1 yeah a australia haven't been their best this series but still can end up 3-1. That's the class of world champions. And remember everytime amd in every match England have had the better conditions whether they bat or bowl. Considering that 3-1 is a great result. If conditions were in favour of australia I could just think if a white wash .

[@user-mg8tw7yo4f]

@@thiru_asc1 I always thought in a sporting competition between 2 sides, or 2 people in an individual sport the best usually wins? Maybe I am wrong. No one should lose a test series at home. And England have managed to do it for the fist time in 21 years. They had to win the third test as they were soundly beaten in the first 2.

Brilliant Representation

[@cvarikos]

Warners angry reaction at getting out in a similar way in the 1st innings, it was a warning sign for England. As the ashes has gone the australian's top order was going to eventually get it right. Dave has now faced alot of balls from each of the pace bowlers and now thats only benefiting him. I agree it is still England's test match to lose BUT .... Warner at the last chance saloon, thats exactly where he wants to be mentally to score runs.

[@Nawanda]

Wood...has a nail in his toe. Serious stuff needing a specialist replacement fielder, a ball change and rain. Shot of the day...Warner evading the beamer and still smile....that's the spirit of cricket DW. ☔Enjoy the final day folks.

[@jarrodf_]

Fair play to Broad and Anderson. Probably close to being in the top 10 quicks of all time (average not as elite as the best, and obviously far less successful away). But great legacies, for sure

[@heretichello8253]

They are not great away from home. So can't say that greats. Very good bowlers though.

[@Human-ig8ok]

Broad retired prematurely. It should rather have been Anderson's farewell Ashes. Anderson was rested at Headingley and ECB should have given him an offer to retire respectfully in the 4th Test at his home ground in Manchester. Anderson's replacement (Tongue or Robinson) would certainly have taken more wickets in the 5th Ashes test which England must win to level the series. Broad is fit and still performing well. So he could have retired at next Ashes in England in 3years' time. ECB is not proactive on Anderson-Broad issue and it should be held responsible if England could not win Oval test and lose home Ashes series after 22years.

[@lekdennamgyal1485]

Agreed, broad is certainly bowling well & good enough to play on, the next ashes is 2 years away, he could've played after 2 years as well provided rest & recovery, but jimmy was not in his best rhythm throughout this series. But now he's decided to continue for a while & let's hope he gets his rhythm back, or else josh tongue can come in.

[@lekdennamgyal1485]

Well played england, 2-2 overall, but easily could've won the series..3-2 or even 4-1, think of stoke's drop of lyon at edgbaston & the rain interruption at Manchester, could've should've, but its fair to say England were the better team throughout this series.

[@kiriakoz]

@@carokat1111 he's good in England, but in Australia he averages 35 and has only won one test in 15 which i think was his first test when he was a bit-part player. Imagine what the English press would say if an Aussie great had that kind of record.

[@vincentho3792]

I’m Australia so I can’t stand the bloke. But 600+ test wickets is a very special test career. He deserved that display of respect from the Aussies

[@mikem668]

You've probably seen more cricket in a couple years than I've seen my whole life. Though I did see Australia thrash England in an Ashes Test in Australia and win a World Cup. But I'm thinking of Shane Warne Did a lot of stupid stuff. You gonna forgive him? You think he wouldn't deserve a Guard of Honor?

[@kiriakoz]

@@mikem668 I think the issue is that England have been very sanctimonious this series. How often did Warney complain about other teams? Also most of Warnies "stupid stuff" only impacted him. Totally different situation.

People love to listen to legends and who have done great in the game but kartik doesn't fit in that category. I don't like his commentary.

[@sebinamuwanga]

The same was said about Mpumulelo "Pommie" Mbangwa when he began his commentary career over 20 years ago. Pommie does commentary all over the world, including in the IPL and does a brilliant job in the commentary box. Dinesh is a good cricketer who has been in and out of the Indian setting for a long time, since his under 19 days. I do not think one can be chosen to represent a billion people if they are not good enough. He was selected to play for India in the 2022 T20 world cup, and currently plays for RCB in the IPL. That should tell you something. This is Dinesh's second stint (I believe) with SKY. This broadcaster definitely believes in his abilities, so cut him some slack!
