A team must win a series to gain the right to hold the Ashes. A drawn series results in the previous holders retaining the Ashes. To date, a total of 62 Ashes series have been played with Australia winning 30, England winning 27. The remaining five series were drawn, with Australia retaining the Ashes four times and England retaining it once.

Bear in mind that either side can only win the Ashes if they are currently held by the other side..so in this current series only Australia can win them, whilst England can retain them.
