Anderson, Broad dig deep to seal the draw
England 294 and 270 for 9 (Crawley 77, Stokes 60) drew with Australia 416 for 8 dec and 265 for 6 dec
James Anderson, with an over to see off against Steven Smith, and eight catchers around the bat, props resolutely onto the front dog, to carry England to a thrilling draw at Sydney. The final ball is dead-batted into the off side to prompt the handshakes. Stuart Broad, his fellow old-stager, is unbeaten at the other end. It's only England's second non-defeat in Australia since 2013, alongside a draw at Melbourne in 2017-18, and it ends the Aussies' hunt for their third whitewash since 2006-07.
