Australia batter Usman Khawaja said the hosts' would have loved to win but applauded the fight shown by England in drawing the fourth Ashes Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Sunday. He also hoped to remain healthy so that he could be available for future Test matches for Australia.

Khawaja was named 'Player of the Match' for scoring 137 and 101 not out in both innings of the Test, making a stunning comeback into the format after 2.5 years. "Terrific game, we would have loved to win but great fight from England. Test match cricket at its best, down to wire. Could have gone either way, couldn't have asked for much more," said Khawaja in the post-match presentation ceremony.
