Ashes D4: 5th Test – Bethell arrives, Webster delivers as the Ashes enter the final day

Jacob Bethell gave England something they have lacked for much of
this series: belief.


Arriving at the SCG without a first-class century to his name,
the 22-year-old played an innings defined by control, patience,
and authority, announcing himself on the Ashes stage and dragging
England back into a contest that had been slipping away.


Australia still hold the upper hand, but Beau Webster again
underlined his growing importance. His unbeaten 71 rescued
Australia’s innings, before he returned to take wickets with
off-spin, including the key dismissal of Ben Stokes, on a surface
offering more than expected.


Corbin Middlemas and Ed Cowan unpack the day and set up the final
act of the Ashes at the SCG, where Australia will be presented
the urn.ABC Grandstand cricket commentator Corbin Middlemas is
