Ashes Lowest Innings Total (In a single Innings)

Australia has the dubious record of scoring the top 3 lowest innings scores in the Ashes. The lowest remains 36 at Birmingham in the 1902 series. The next two are 42 and 44 in Sydney and London respectively, both coming in the 19th century.

The fourth lowest and the fifth lowest totals belong to England. They were dismissed for 45 and 52 at Sydney and London.

Here are the 5 lowest innings totals in Ashes:

Ashes Lowest Team Total (In a single match)

While some of these records were registered due to a batting collapse in either of the innings in the Test, the upcoming records were created because of poor batting in both the innings.

England have the record of having the lowest aggregate in an Ashes Test. They scored just 115 runs with 53 in the first and 62 runs in the second innings of the Lord’s Test in 1888.
