Apparently, Broad did the bails switching again, and it got him a wicket this time! :D

Yes, last hour scheduled to start at 6 pm
Apparently (BBC at 18:20):
There are a minimum of 20 overs left.

The final hour will start when there are 15 overs left. England can bowl more than 15 in that hour if they are quick.

There's no scheduled end time on the final day, as long as the weather and light holds out.

Great result for England and Broad took final wicket on his retirement

Broad hit a six with the final ball he received, and took a wicket with the final ball he bowled. I want his scriptwriter to prepare for my next tournament!

Fantastic series, and credit to both teams.

The psychology of that final day was fascinating wasn't it - Australia were doing more than fine until they got it into their heads that they could actually win. Not unlike when chess masters have felt compelled to "go for a win" - even when a draw sufficed - and ended up losing.
