England captain Ben Stokes needed a huge response from his side in the third Test match of the NRMA Insurance men's Ashes series. It did not quite arrive.
A demoralising two-day defeat kicked off the Ashes in Perth, before an improved batting display ultimately ended in more embarrassment in Brisbane as Australia again won by eight wickets.
The tourists knew nothing less than a win would do in the third Test, live on TNT Sports and discovery+, but a batting collapse in the first innings ultimately proved their undoing.
At the start of Day 5, they sat six wickets down and still needing over 200 more runs in their second innings. A valiant effort was made, but Mitchell Starc did the damage again to secure the home win.
