Over: England lose by 146; Australia take the Ashes 4-0
They lost the last 10 wickets for 56 runs. That is a collapse and a half. Embarrassing for an England side, who may have even considered to have been in the chase at Tea time. The reality of the matter is, their batting has just not been good enough. They collapsed in one session and the game's over in less than nine (remember we lost most of the final session on Day 1)
Basically, the match slipped out of England's hands on day 1 itself when they gave away almost 250 runs in conditions where the ball darted around considerably.
It's 4-0 for Australia! And a lot of soul-searching to do for England. Hang around Cricbuzz for all the follow-up stories. We'll sign off from this Ashes series here with a couple of reactions from Social Media.
Prelude - Day 3
The traditional moving day. But this Test has already moved at the rate of knots after a 17-wicket day yesterday. Australia are ahead as a lead of 152 would suggest but they have as yet to close the door shut on the opposition.
England had another forgettable day with the bat yesterday but their bowlers can give their batters one final chance to redeem themselves. Broad and Co. were excellent last evening when they knocked Australia's top-three off. Now they have a Steve Smith-shaped mountain to get past. Should be an interesting day of cricket, this. Grab your cuppa and get ready!
