The ICC on Monday (December 29, 2025) rated the pitch used in Melbourne for the fourth Ashes Test between England and Australia as unsatisfactory and handed the venue one demerit point after it was deemed to be "too much in favour of the bowlers" in match referee Jeff Crowe's assessment report.

Twenty wickets fell on the opening day of the Test which England eventually won by four wickets inside two days.
