Australia beat England by 82 runs to win third Test and retain AshesListen to this articleAustralia's Marnus Labuschagne (left), Usman Khawaja (centre) and Alex Carey (right) celebrate after Labuschagne caught Josh Tongue to seal the Ashes. ADELAIDE (AUSTRALIA) - Dominant Australia collected the last four wickets they needed Sunday to win the third Test and retain the Ashes in just 11 days of cricket, crushing the dreams of a "hurting" England side who finally showed some fight. But Stokes also took some positives from the way England battled, having demanded more fight leading into the match. England's capitulation over three Tests is a far cry from the pre-Ashes hype where they were touted as having their best chance in a generation to win a series in Australia. Starc struck again to send Jofra Archer packing before Boland took out Tongue, sparking huge celebrations.
