How many times has an Ashes Test finished inside two days?

We take a look at the Ashes Tests to have finished inside two days after England wrapped up an incredible victory over Australia at the MCG.

Prior to Australia securing an eight-wicket win after a low-scoring classic in the Ashes series opener last month, it had been 104 years since a Test match between these two great cricketing nations had finished inside two days.

Just over a month later and England have incredibly repeated the feat after six sessions of scintillating action at the MCG.

England's famous victory is just the seventh time that an Ashes Test has finished in two days as these two sides continue to rewrite the history books.
