Ashes 2017/18: 5th Test, Day 5 - 5 things we learnt from the day

#2 England succumb to innings defeat

Australia completed formalities to seal the series 4-0

Australia continued to humiliate England in home Tests and regained the Ashes pompously with a 4-0 drubbing completed on the final day of the series at the SCG. With Joe Root down and out, Australia had a fairly easy task in front of them and Pat Cummins ensured that there was no coming back for the visitors when he sent Johnny Bairstow on his way.

The lower order was destroyed and although James Anderson and Tom Curran hung along for a while, Hazlewood completed the last scalp (Joe Root did not come out to bat) and England succumbed to an innings defeat to finish a rather poor series for them.
