Australia has retained the Ashes after rain prevented any play on the final day of the fourth test against England at Old Trafford on Sunday. Australia has an insurmountable 2-1 lead with one test left. England needed to win the five-match series to take the urn off holder Australia. England was favorite to win the fourth test with Australia 214-5 and 61 runs behind the hosts. Only 30 overs were possible on Saturday.
Rain prevented play from starting on time on the last day of the fourth Ashes cricket test between England and Australia on Sunday. The weather forecast is bleak and it is possible that play will be washed out for the rest of the day. Only 30 overs were possible on Saturday, with plenty more rain forecast on what could be a frustrating final day at Old Trafford. Australia are more than happy to settle for a draw that would see them retain their 2-1 lead and the urn, meaning England will be forced to make the most of whatever windows of play are possible. They have already been frustrated by a 103-run stand between centurion Marnus Labuschagne and Mitch Marsh, but saw their prospects rise when Joe Root had the former caught behind. There is little margin for error after their 275-run first-innings lead was whittled down to 61 by the tourists, who will resume on 214-5.

Former captain Ricky Ponting has offered technical advice to Australia batters Marnus Labuschagne and Travis Head to counter England's bowling attack ahead of the second Ashes Test starting Wednesday at the Lord's. Australia won the opening Test at Edgbaston, Birmingham by two wickets in what was the first match of the new ICC World Test Championship cycle. There were a number of impressive individual performances, but Labuschagne and Head struggled in the Ashes opener. Ponting wants Labuschagne to go back to basics to find success, and has offered one-on-one time to the 28-year-old right-hander. "I'll wait for them to come and ask me. It's not my place, I'm not one of the coaches, I'm just a past player that's sitting back and analysing what a lot of these guys are doing," Ponting said in the ICC Review. "But I would like to catch up with him (Labuschagne) and have a chat about his batting, because I think what I've seen over the last couple of weeks, as far as I'm concerned, I t
