The travelers had bowled Australia out for 155 during the center meeting, leaving themselves a doubtful objective of 271 for triumph.
Rory Burns and individual opener Zak Crawley got the travelers looking stirring so far however in the last over before tea, Burns attempted to leave a ball from Green, just to slash it on, falling for 26 with the score on 68.
Dawid Malan, whose spouse brought forth their first kid for the time being, began well with a few slicing limits, however he fell the same way, slashing on to Green for 10 to end a baffling Test.

There was more dramatization next ball when a Wood yorker collided with Cummins' foot and he was given out lbw, however on audit the ball was missing off stump.
Carey didn't keep going long after the mid-day break, playing a rash shot and edging to Billings. Four runs later, Wood polished Australia off when he clean bowled Cummins.
