England's hopes of regaining the Ashes look all but over after they were bowled out for 67 by Australia on the second day of the third Test at Headingley.
Pace bowler Josh Hazlewood took 5-30, while Joe Denly was the only batsman to reach double figures - his 12 is the lowest top-score in an England Test innings.There was a glimmer of hope for England when Australia were reduced to 52-3 in their second innings, only for Marnus Labuschagne to take it away with his unbeaten 53 off 139 balls.
That they fell in such a pathetic heap was not only the latest in a long line of batting disappointments, but also effectively ended what was shaping up to be a tremendous battle for the Ashes. Whereas Australia were skittled in perfect bowling conditions on Thursday, England were unable to deal with a hint of movement because of weak defence, a lack of patience and loose strokes.
Stokes and Stuart Broad did remove Matthew Wade and Tim Paine respectively in consecutive overs late in the day, strikes that surely came too late to impact the result.Paine reviews an lbw only to be given out caught insteadEngland's meekness was matched by the ruthlessness of Australia. The tourists were incisive with the ball, took sharp catches and had clever plans for each batsman. In the evening, they took advantage of their good fortune to move practically out of sight.
Never any consistancy always a flash in a pan.
What a shower.

Time for major changes, this lot aren't good enough. They are supposed to be professional but their minds weren't up to the job.
If the England players are so jaded after the World Cup then give others a chance in the last two tests !
