Australia have completed a 4-0 Ashes series win, with Pat Cummins' express pace easing his side to victory by an innings and 123 runs in the SCG finale.

Man of the match Cummins cleaned up England's tail clinically after lunch on day five of the fifth Test, finishing with figures of 4-39 in the final innings of the series.

The speedster, playing his first home Test series after almost six years of injury hell, also bagged 4-80 in the first innings to finish as the leading wicket-taker of the lopsided series with 23 scalps.

England finished at 9-180 on Monday, with sick skipper Joe Root unable to return to the crease after retiring hurt a second time.
