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

<p>

#3 Worst bowling display by England bowlers

<p>

It was only the eighth time in Test history that five bowlers conceded 100 runs or more in an innings.

England's Stuart Broad, James Anderson, Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes and Craig Overton were looted for 100-plus runs each as Australia posted a colossal first innings score of 662/9.

A special effort was expected from the most productive Test pace pairing of Anderson and Broad on their 100th outing together, but they failed miserably in their milestone match.

During their match-winning partnership of 301, Steven Smith and Mitchell Marsh toyed with England's most destructive pacers and made them look quite ordinary.

Anderson still managed to salvage some pride by claiming 4 wickets but with no wicket for 142 runs, Broad registered the worst-ever figures of his 112-Test career.
