The total was the eighth-lowest recorded in innings against Australia, and their fourth-lowest ever in England.

Josh Hazlewood made a brilliant effort returning with a figure of 5 for 30 leaving England in disarray on day two of the third Ashes Test.

In the previous innings, Australia fought hard to assimilate 179 runs against a vicious Jofra Archer show who crushed the visitors with a six-fer. But the enjoyment for the home team gone astray soon when they came down to reply.

Losing opener Jason Roy with 10 runs on the board, England never in near of being settling down; they were crumbled losing six wickets in the morning session which soon ended within 28 overs.

Joe Denly scored top with 12 – he was, however, the lone batsman to reach into the double digit mark in England innings.

This brought Australia a handy 112-runs lead in the beginning of the second innings.

Along with Hazlewood’s fifer, James Pattison claimed two wickets and the rest three were picked by Pat Cummins.

England’s batting average in 2019 has now fallen to 21.96 – that is the lowest they have recorded in a calendar year since 1950 when they averaged 21.35. England’s batting is struggling to a degree unmatched in generations. #Ashes
