NZ, SA Close In Gap As Australia Remain On Top Of WTC Points Table
ICC World Test Championship: England registered a Boxing Day comeback win at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Saturday, clinching a famous four-wicket victory over Australia to register their first Test win on Australian soil in 19 matches and breathe new life into the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025–2027 race.
