Cricket: Fourth Test
England v Australia
Cornhill Insurance Test Series from Headingley. The Ashes series moves on to Leeds, where a result is almost guaranteed. The last 11 tests at Headingley have all produced a positive finish, with England winning five of them, including two of the last three against
Australia. On the most recent occasion, Allan Border 's team came out on top by 210 runs, in the first of their successes on the 1989 tour. Mark Taylor and Steve Waugh both scored centuries, and Terry Alderman took ten wickets as the Australians notched an easy victory. Commentary by Richie Benaud , Jack Bannister ,
