England have lost the third Test against Australia in a humbling Ashes defeat.
Hosts Australia lead 3-0 with two test matches left to play as part of the five-match series.
England were chasing a daunting 435 in the final innings to try and keep the series alive, but they fell well short, being bowled out for 352.
They were 82 short of the target, which was 17 higher than the world record and 57 more than any England team has managed.
This was the 18th Test without a victory for England in Australia, losing 16 of them and drawing two.
High expectations were resting on the shoulders of coach Ben Stokes’s men ahead of the series, but a string of underwhelming performances means the wait to regain the Ashes continues for two more years when the series returns to England.
England lost the first Test in two days, the second in four days, and the third after the full five days, leaving Australia with an unassailable 3-0 lead after just 11 days.
