England secured a significant four-wicket victory against Australia in the fourth Ashes Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, marking their first Test win on Australian soil in 5,468 days. Despite Australia leading the series 3-1 and retaining the Ashes urn, the win ended an 18-Test winless streak for England. Captain Ben Stokes led the team to chase a target of 175 on the second day, achieving a historic result after significant criticism of the team's performance and conduct.
