England pacer Josh Tongue said to get a match-winning five-wicket haul and have his name registered at the Melbourne Cricket Ground is a very special feeling, as the side got a Test match win in Australia after 15 years.

Tongue claimed Player of the Match honours for picking figures of 5-45 and 2-44, as England beat Australia by four wickets inside two days. “It’s what dreams are made of. Obviously, waking up on Boxing Day, a few nerves. But to get a fifer and get my name on the honours board, it’s a very special feeling. It was with 95,000 people yesterday [Friday]. “The Barmy Army have been unbelievable these past four games. And especially here as well, in front of 95,000 people, it’s amazing being in the moment for them. 100%,” Tongue said at the conclusion of the game.
