Ashes 2013 Scorecard: Video Highlights, Session Recap from Day 4 at Durham
A pulsating day's Test cricket swung one way and then the other, but ended with England sealing victory in the fourth Test at Chester-le-Street by 74 runs, and with the series by a 3-0 margin.
England had the better of the morning, the tail adding precious runs to set Australia a target of 299 to win the match—but David Warner and Chris Rogers struck back with a century stand for the first wicket, to make the target seem far more attainable.
England looked bereft of ideas, but redeemed themselves in the evening session to trigger an Australian collapse, with Stuart Broad and Tim Bresnan slicing through the middle order.
It took the extra half-hour to finally wrap up the contest, but Broad finished a man-of-the-match performance with the crucial wicket.
Morning session - England 330 all out, Australia 11-0
England had the best of the morning session, recovering from the loss of Ian Bell after adding just eight runs to his overnight 113 to post 330.
Tim Bresnan (45) and Graeme Swann (30 not out) were part of a wagging tail, as Michael Clarke appeared to lose control of the run rate in the final overs of the innings.
A lead of 298 when the final wicket fell looked to have put England in a strong position to take a 3-0 lead in the series, but Australia survived a five-over spell before lunch unscathed as they set about the target.
Afternoon session - Australia 120-1
Brilliant batting from Australian openers Chris Rogers and David Warner turned Australia into favourites after a positive opening stand.
The duo emerged after a rain delay of just over an hour, and played with poise and purpose.
Rogers fell to Swann for 49, beaten and edging behind, but it was the only blip in an otherwise excellent afternoon for the tourists.
Warner, back opening for Australia, was particularly brutal, his inside-out six against Swann the highlight of his unbeaten half-century.
Evening session - Australia 224 all out
Australia's chase fell apart in an all-too-familiar collapse in the evening session.
Usman Khawaja departed early to Swann, but Clarke and Warner appeared to steady the chase. The dismissal of Warner for 71, nibbling at a jaffa from Bresnan, proved decisive.
Clarke was next, the victim of a sensational delivery from Broad, and Smith, Watson and Haddin followed swiftly as their challenge was derailed.
England pressed on in the fading light, and sealed the game when Broad grabbed his sixth wicket of the innings—and 11th of the match, at 19:40 in the evening.
