Third Ashes Test - Match Drawn
The third test took place at Edgbaston in Birmingham between 30 July – 3 Aug, 2009. Edgbaston has been a regular Test match venue for over fifty years, and it usually has a wicket that brings results. However a waterlogged pitch and further rain made a result in this match almost impossible although England did have an outside chance on the final day. The score cards are below.

Over the years England has had the edge over the Aussies at Edgbaston, but the last four matches have been shared. The Ashes 2005 match here was one of the most exciting ever, with England winning by just 2 runs in the tightest finish ever in 128 years of Ashes history.
