Watch Edgbaston 2005 watchalong on Sky Sports Cricket on Sunday

Written by on 10/05/2020

Edgbaston 2005 – a true Ashes classic.

This week on Sky Sports Cricket we are showing the full Test from Birmingham 15 years ago, in which England edged Australia by just two runs to draw level in the series at 1-1.

For Sunday’s spectacular climax, we will be joined by England skipper Michael Vaughan, team-mates Kevin Pietersen, Marcus Trescothick and Steve Harmison and Australia great Shane Warne for a special watchalong.

Catch the show from 12pm on Sky Sports Cricket as Vaughan, Warne and co reflect on how Australia moved to the brink of a remarkable win – before Harmison removed Michael Kasprowicz to seal victory for England.

The Baggy Greens began the day on 175-8, requiring a further 107 runs to move 2-0 up in the series, and almost did it as Warne, Brett Lee and Kasprowicz frustrated England with lower-order runs.

But with three runs required, Harmison had Kasprowicz – who had earlier been dropped by Simon Jones – given out caught behind by umpire Billy Bowden to spark wild England celebrations and break Australia hearts.

Harmison and his fellow former internationals will share their unique insights and personal memories about the Edgbaston thriller as well as the whole series as England regained the urn for the first time since 1987.

You can also watch uninterrupted coverage of day four on Sky Sports Main Event as well as on our YouTube channel from 12pm on Sunday.
