Ashes 2017/18, 2nd Test: 5 things that went wrong for England

The form of Moeen Ali

England are definitely missing Ben Stokes and it became even more evident in Adelaide. The world's best all-rounder has the ability to turn things around and with his name in the playing XI, the English batting runs deep.

Moeen Ali, who has been England's go-to man in the past, has been completely out of touch in Australia.

Ali, who has just two wickets in the series so far, remained wicketless in the second Test.

The 30-year-old, who was lined-up as a specialist batsman for the day-night Test owing to a finger injury, could not chip in with the bat as well as he ended up scoring just 27 runs in two innings.
