Tyson took 3/85 and 3/47 as Australia fell for 111 in the second innings to lose the Test by five wickets and the series 3–1. It was the first time England had won a series in Australia since 1932–33, they would not win another until 1970–71. Fifth Test vs Australia at Sydney Despite three days lost to rain an aggressive England team almost made it 4–1.
