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.
