Australia remained unlucky on the fourth day as they missed two chances. First Nathan Lyon missed a chance of a run out of Jack Leach and then later they appealed for an LBW but were given not out by the umpire. Australia had the review in the over prior to it but they wasted it in a bad decision taken by the captain Tim Paine because after checking with the help of DRS it was confirmed that the ball was pitching way outside the leg stump.

This decision taken by Tim Paine turned out to be very harmful for the team as they got a chance to win the match in the next over when Nathan Lyon trapped Ben Stokes with an LBW appeal that was turned down by the umpire. If they had that review it could have given them 2-0 lead on the ashes and could also have helped them in retaining the series.
