ashes | Australia bowled out England for 185 in the third test

England were bowled out for 185 in their first innings after tea on the first day of the third Ashes Test in Melbourne on Sunday after Australia won the toss and elected to field.

Captain Joe Root top-scored with 50 and Jonny Bairstow top-scored with 35, but it was yet another poor performance from the Aussies in front of high-class bowling. Captain Pat Cummins picked up all three of England’s top-order wickets for the home team. Spinner Nathan Lyon also took three wickets as England were bowled out for total.

Holders Australia, who lead the five-Test series 2-0 after victories in Brisbane and Adelaide, could retain the urn with a win or a draw at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
