Australia on Saturday drew their final warm-up match against the England Lions ahead of the first Ashes Test in Cardiff next week.

Set a nominal 445 runs to win from 60 overs, the Lions reached 162 for four by the close of play on Day 4.

Despite it being the tourists' successive draw, the match answered many of Australia's questions before they start their Ashes defence on Wednesday.

Marcus North, Michael Clarke, Simon Katich and Mike Hussey all performed with the bat while Mitchell Johnson joined Brett Lee in bowling in excess of 90mph.
