Australia retain the Ashes after winning the MCG Test

Australia retain the Ashes with a dominant win over England in the third Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). The Test got over in less than three full days as Australia won by an innings and 14 runs. England succumbed to Australian fast bowlers in the second innings, perishing on 68. Scott Boland decimated the English batting line-up with a ferocious six-wicket haul.

Match
How did the match pan out?

England were bowled out for 185 after Australia elected to field. Skipper Joe Root was the lone warrior for the visitors, scoring a half-century (50). The Australian batters stumbled too on Day 2, however, the lower middle-order guided the hosts to 267. Australian seamers were fired-up in the final session, reducing England to 31/4. They eventually skittled out the Root-led side on 68.

Boland
Boland tears down England on Day 3

Australian pace spearhead Boland delivered one of the greatest spells in Test cricket. He completed his five-wicket haul in mere 19 balls, the joint-fastest five-for in Test history. Overall, Boland registered mind-boggling figures of 6/7 in mere 24 deliveries. Boland, who became the second Indigenous man to play Test cricket for Australia, won the Mullagh medal on debut (Player of the Match).

Information
Boland scripts history with a phenomenal spell

Boland registered the best innings figures (6/7) by an Australian man on Test debut in Australia since January 1895 when Albert Trott took 8/43 against England at the Adelaide Oval. The former had a strike rate of 14.5 in the third Test.

Australia
Ashes: Australia are unbeaten at home since January 2011

They won the previous two series 5-0 (in 2013/14) and 4-0 (in 2017/18). Overall, Australia last lost the Ashes in 2015 (in England).

Anderson
James Anderson attains this unique feat

Anderson helped England make a turnaround in the first innings. He took a total of four wickets for 33 runs and bowled 10 maidens. As per Opta, Anderson has taken at least four wickets in a Test innings in Australia seven times. He is only behind Sydney Barnes (9), Sir Ian Botham (8), and Maurice Tate (8) on this list.

Information
Anderson dismisses Warner for the 10th time

Anderson removed Australian opener David Warner in the first innings. The England pace spearhead has now dismissed Warner 10 times in Test cricket. Warner is the third batter to have fallen to Anderson as many times (Cheteshwar Pujara and Peter Siddle - 11 each.

Root
Root slams these records

Root was the only England batter who fired in the first innings. He scored 50 off 82 balls (4 fours). He registered his ninth Test half-century in Australia, the most by an English player in the nation without registering a ton. Root now has the third-most Test runs by a batter in a calendar year (1,708). He surpassed Graeme Smith (1,656) on the tally.

Root
