 Thanks to Rick McCosker (79), Ian Chappell (86), Greg Chappell (73 not out) and Edwards (52 not out), Australia did not struggle to salvage a draw, losing only three wickets in one-and-a-half days.John Edrich (62) and David Steele (73) added 112 for England's second wicket, and Tony Greig contributed 51, but following Greig's run-out, England's last five wickets fell for 20 runs, the last four all to Gary Gilmour, as England were bowled out for 288.In reply, left-arm spinner Phil Edmonds, on debut, claimed 5/28 as Australia collapsed to 135 all out.
