Scott Boland claimed the prized wicket of England captain Joe Root, but the tourists dug in to frustrate Australia up to tea on the final day of the fourth Test under gloomy skies at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
Root and Ben Stokes combined for a 60-run partnership from 26 overs before Boland had the English skipper edging through to wicketkeeper Alex Carey for 24 to give Australia new hope it may be able to bowl England out in the final session and claim a 4-0 Ashes series lead.
At tea, England was 174-4, with Stokes unbeaten on 46 and Jonny Bairstow 10 not out as the tourists battled hard to preserve their wicket and achieve England's best result in a dismal tour so far.

Rajamma M., Mary Varkey, Valsala L., Elisho S., and Praseeda Sumesh, aged between 70 and 39, pooled their savings, rented a piece of land and began their collective vegetable farming journey under the Deepam Krishi group.
