Michael Vaughan’s team went to Birmingham trailing 1-0 in the series after losing the opening Test at Lord’s by 239 runs despite bowling Australia out for 190 in their first innings.

In the days that followed, the teams fought a ding-dong battle that left the tourists on 175-8 at stumps on day three needing 107 more runs to go 2-0 up and all but retain the urn with three Tests to go.

What followed was pure theatre as the Test went down to the wire, producing some iconic cricketing moments.

Three of England’s victorious team – skipper Vaughan, opener Marcus Trescothick and paceman Steve Harmison – will join us on Sunday for a ‘Watchalong’ special on Sky Sports Cricket and our YouTube channel to relive the epic conclusion to the Test match.
