Magic. But for the rain in Manchester, that wicket would have effectively WON that #Ashes2023

Amazing from Broad and yes after all the criticism, good cricket needs to be appreciated; I am happy to admit that England actually were the better of the two teams and just a bit unlucky with the penultimate test getting washed out.
