Three successive wins followed. At Manchester England's 437 earned a first-innings lead of 140 and they completed a nine-wicket victory at 82 for 1. Nottingham followed a similar course, England dismissing Australia for 243 and 309 and making 364 and 189 for 3 to win by seven wickets. At Leeds England posted 436 and bowled Australia out for 103 and 248, winning by an innings and 85 runs to settle the series. The final Test at The Oval, London was drawn, with England on 57 for 2 in their second innings after Australia's 385.
