England secured a four-wicket victory over Australia in the fourth Ashes Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, marking their first win in Australia in 14 years and keeping the series alive at 3-1. Despite the historic win, former England captain Michael Vaughan criticized the MCG pitch, deeming the playing surface unsuitable for Test cricket due to excessive assistance for fast bowlers. The match concluded rapidly, with 36 wickets falling in six sessions.
