[1] England regained the Ashes by winning the final match.
Jack Hobbs and Herbert Sutcliffe took the score to 49–0 at the end of the second day, a lead of 27.
Heavy rain fell overnight, and next day the pitch soon developed into a traditional sticky wicket.
Sutcliffe went on to make 161 and in the end England won the game comfortably.
As on some previous visits to England, the Australian team had a stopover en route in Colombo and played a one-day single-innings match against the Ceylon national team which at that time did not have first-class status.
