AUS vs ENG 3rd Test – Result

Updated：Australia won by 82 runs.

Day 5 was about confirmation, not tension. England batted longer than expected, but the result never felt in doubt. Australia closed the match with composure, led by Alex Carey’s sharp work behind the stumps and Nathan Lyon’s clinical finishing spell. The victory sealed another home Ashes series with ruthless efficiency, underlining Australia’s dominance in familiar conditions. England leave Adelaide having shown occasional fight, but without solving the deeper problems that continue to surface on Australian tours. The series was decided quickly, decisively, and without compromise. For Australia, it was control from start to finish.

AUS vs ENG 3rd Test – Day 4

Updated：England trailed by 227 runs.

Day 4 belonged entirely to Pat Cummins. Returning from a lengthy injury absence, he delivered one of the most authoritative fast-bowling performances of the series. Cummins struck early, repeatedly, and decisively, removing England’s most important batters with relentless accuracy. On a pitch offering little assistance, his bounce and discipline forced errors rather than invited them. Nathan Lyon added control at the other end, tightening the noose as England’s resistance faded. Any remaining hope of a comeback was extinguished through sustained pressure rather than dramatic moments. By stumps, Australia were no longer pushing for victory, they were simply waiting to collect it.

Australia need four more wickets to retain the urn, with Nathan Lyon and Pat Cummins sharing the honours with the ball.

AUS vs ENG 3rd Test – Day 3

Updated：England trailed by 356 runs.

Day 3 was shaped by Travis Head turning Adelaide into familiar territory once again. His century flowed without strain, built on calm shot selection and total control of tempo, and it broke England’s resistance far more effectively than raw aggression. While Head cruised, Australia’s middle order continued to wrestle with itself. Marnus Labuschagne and Cameron Green both fell cheaply, their dismissals born of hesitation rather than pressure. Still, Head’s authority ensured Australia stayed well ahead of the game. By stumps, the scoreboard advantage felt secondary to the psychological one. England were batting under a sun that exposed every doubt.

AUS vs ENG 3rd Test – Day 2

Updated：England trailed by 158 runs.

Ben Stokes’ rearguard in Adelaide captured the contradiction at the heart of England’s Ashes campaign, a captain forged by Bazball forced into survival mode under relentless Australian pressure. On a pitch and in conditions ideal for batting, England wasted a rare opportunity, leaving Stokes isolated as he absorbed punishment from Starc and company for nearly four exhausting hours. His unbeaten resistance kept England alive technically, but it also underlined how far the philosophy has drifted from its attacking roots. For all Australia’s quality, the deeper indictment lay with England’s inability to adapt, exposing a system now stripped of momentum, clarity, and confidence.

Australia managed to take eight wickets on a scorching hot day in Adelaide, but Jofra Archer and Ben Stokes are showing real fight.

AUS vs ENG 3rd Test – Day 1

Updated：England trailed by 326 runs.

England’s bowlers stayed alive in the Adelaide Christmas Test as Australia gifted wickets on a flawed opening day, finishing 326 for 8. Jofra Archer led with control and pace, striking twice after lunch and returning 3 for 29, while others leaked runs yet persisted in brutal heat. Australia’s batting errors, from loose shots to missed chances, kept England competitive despite Steven Smith’s absence and Alex Carey’s fortune. The attack lacked cohesion but showed fight, unsettling Australia’s rhythm. Two early wickets on day two could swing momentum before extreme heat tests both sides and keeps the series alive for now barely.

Alex Carey and Usman Khawaja were the big stories on day one in Adelaide, but England found ways to stay in the game. #Ashes blog: https://t.co/lwRv8SZdLR pic.twitter.com/HglVRuX8MF
