England Making the Host 132 All out

Every chance stuck, every tight line worked, and the visitors grabbed full control of the match by executing a near-perfect first-innings plan. At that stage, England seemed ready to own the opening Ashes Test.

Their struggles hinted at bigger concerns before the match turned sharply against them.

A disappointing start to the series.
