5 crucial moments where England lost the Ashes

#2 Collapse in Perth after centuries from Dawid Malan and Jonny Bairstow

England collapsed to 403 all out from 368/4 in Perth

Just like on the 2013-14 tour, no England batsman had scored a century after the first two Tests; and similarly, the hundred arrived in the third Test at Perth. England were reduced to 131/4 batting first – this time Joe Root took the right decision – and newcomer Dawid Malan combined with Jonny Bairstow to stitch a huge partnership to shake Australia up.

The left-right pair added 237 as Malan got his maiden Test hundred after which Bairstow too got to triple figures. But the famous English collapse returned to haunt them as they tumbled from 368/4 to 403 all out with neither Moeen Ali nor Chris Woakes contributing.
