Australia claim the Ashes19 urn to end a tumultuous 18 months since Cape Town | SMHsport
It was not the series win Justin Langer's men had been hoping for, but they can still say "mission accomplished" as they leave Heathrow, despite failing to become the first Australian team to salute in England since 2001.
At no stage did Australia appear likely to overhaul England's target of 399, dismissed for 263 after 6pm local time. Wade joined Smith and Ben Stokes as the only men to have scored multiple tons this series, though he has had a fraction of the impact of that duo.Despite several starts, the Tasmanian had not reached 50 since his century at Edgbaston, though neither had England uncovered a glaring weakness in his game they could routinely expose as they had with other Australian batsmen like Travis Head and David Warner.
Wade saw off Archer to bring up three figures against Broad, but his concentration lapsed upon reaching the milestone, giving two lives on consecutive balls on 106 before being stumped by Joe Root on 117.
