Australia have retained their grasp on the coveted Ashes urn with a dominating victory at the Adelaide Oval in the third Test of the five-match series.
Alex Carey’s 106 and Usman Khawaja’s 82 led the charge for the home side in the first innings, while Jofra Archer’s fifer built hope for the visitors.
Notably, Archer fired with the bat as well, scoring 51, accompanied by Ben Stokes’ 83. Pat Cummins registered 3 wickets on his much-awaited Test cricket return.
Travis Head’s blistering 170 and Carey’s 72 in their second innings allowed a competitive total to be posted on the board which England eventually failed to chase down.
Australia are now 3-0 up in the Ashes 2025/26 series, attaining an unassailable lead. The Three Lions, for those unaware, haven’t won the series since 2015.
