5 of the lowest points for England in the Ashes

#3 Melbourne Cricket Ground, 1990

The Ashes, second Test

The Australians started the 1990-91 Ashes Down Under as firm favourites, after having won the last one in England 4-0. They won the first Test at Brisbane, but England fought back in the Boxing Day Test match and secured a first-innings lead of 46 runs. They started well and, thanks to fifties from Gooch and Larkins, reached 147 for the loss of four wickets...until left-arm fast bowler Bruce Reid proved to be too much for England.

From 147 for four, England collapsed to 150 all out and practically surrendered the Ashes in the second Test, enduring one of the lowest points in the history of English cricket.

Australia knocked off the target for the loss of two wickets and England went on to lose the series 3-0.
