Ashes 2017/18, 3rd Test: What went wrong for England

#4 No resistance shown by the tail

Unlike Australian tailenders, England's tail showed no resistance and bounced away in both the innings at the WACA.

Despite a gritty partnership between Dawid Malan and Jonny Bairstow, England went from 368/5 to 403 all-out in the first innings.

Tim Paine and Pat Cummins have been consistently contributing for Australia with the bat and because of that, the difference between the two batting sides has been a gulf.

Moeen Ali and Chris Woakes, who was called for the Ashes series to fill in the big boots of Ben Stokes, have been the biggest underperformers in England's lower order.
