Cameron Green Admits 'Australia Got Out Of Jail' With Fourth Ashes Test Draw

Australia all-rounder Cameron Green admitted the tourists had "got out of jail" in an Ashes-clinching draw at Old Trafford.

But with rain meaning only 30 overs were possible across the final two days on Saturday and Sunday, Australia held on for a draw.
