With a stunning two-wicket loss, the visitors stunned the home team's elite bowling lineup. With a target of 281, and the weather playing hide and seek, a victory for Australia seemed unlikely.

The World Test Champions, however, maintained their composure.

At a full stadium, the home audience gasped in shock when captain Ben Stokes dropped Lyon in the penultimate play. Cummins and Lyon put up a strong stand for the eighth wicket to shift the tide in the Australian team's favour.

Australia's painful loss to England on the same ground in 2005 was made up for by this chase, which was the second-highest successful chase at the venue. Australia had lost that Test after they went three short of chasing down 282 in that match.
