Ashes 2017/18, 1st Test: 5 things that went wrong for England

Allowed lower order to score runs

While England's lower order lost six for 56 in the first innings and went from 185-6 to 195 all out in the second, Australia's last three alone added 119.

Despite the fact that Steve Smith was mostly responsible for carrying his team but he couldn't have done it without the 42-run contribution of his number nine Pat Cummins.

Although except Smith Australia's batsmen also did not convert the starts to score big runs, their tail-enders stood by the skipper, who tried to accumulate as many runs as possible for his team.

It was a collective failure of the fielding side that despite getting rid of the regular batsmen, they allowed the lower order to frustrate them.
