Grinning George looked suitably handsome in a navy blazor and shirt as he was given a replica of the Ashes Urn.

Meanwhile his father was equally cheerful as he chatted away with Mr Thompson in a light blue blazer.

Prince George witnessed England battled back from the brink with three important wickets.

After taking control on day three, Australia had the chance to bat the home side out of the game, resuming 221 ahead with eight wickets in hand.

But England’s seamers scrapped away valiantly, taking out Usman Khawaja, Steve Smith and Travis Head to keep themselves just about in the hunt.

Australia will still feel well on top, leading by 313 at lunch as they moved from 130 for two to 222 for five.

England already require the second highest chase at the home of cricket,

But England have made a habit of hunting formidable targets in the ‘Bazball’ era.
