Australia Lead 2-0, England Need a Strong Comeback
- Australia now leads the five-match series 2-0.
- With their batting failing under pressure twice, particularly in the second innings, England's chances of winning the Ashes again appear bleak.
- Similarly, Australia's combination of aggressive batting, strong bowling (despite their lack of several stars), and deft fielding made the difference.
- The 3rd test match of Ashesh 2025 will be on 17 -21 December at Adelaide Oval, Adelaide.
