Humbled: Australia retain The Ashes as England fall to third test defeat

Australia have retained The Ashes after winning the third test in Melbourne to take an unassailable three-nil lead in the five match series.

Australia won by an innings and 14 runs as England’s batsmen crumbled in the face of their pace attack, collapsing to 69 all out in the second innings.

The five match series now continues in the New Year, with England hoping to restore some pride after what has been a lacklustre campaign from Joe Root’s men.
