Ashes 2013: England v Australia, fourth Test, day four - in pictures

England started the day with a 202-run lead and five wickets remaining. It looked like they had lost another early on, until Jackson Bird's appeal for LBW against Tim Bresnan was turned down by the umpire

Once again, DRS is called into action. This time, Stuart Broad is seen praying as Brad Haddin's LBW dismissal is played on the big screen. The umpire was right, the ball would have just clipped the top of the stumps. The Australian lower order is collapsing!

Broad reaches for the sky after claiming the penultimate wicket. Australia find themselves in an almost impossible situation at 211-9, with England only needing a single wicket to win the Ashes outright. Can they do it tonight?

Yes they can! With clouds looming above and only a crack of light illuminating the pitch, Peter Siddle hits a ball from Stuart Broad to mid-off and Jimmy Anderson catches him to give England victory
