Australia beat England by 146 runs inside three days in the fifth and final Test match in Hobart to clinch the 2021/22 Ashes 4-0.
Chasing 271, England reached 68/0 in 16 overs as Rory Burns (26) and Zak Crawley (36) put on their first 50-run opening stand of. But then they lost all 10 wickets for 56 runs in 22.5 overs, and ended up being bowled for 124.
England were asked to complete their highest chase in Australia in the last 60 years as well as the highest in their day-night Test matches. They began well and looked favourites at one point, but once again their batting unit collapsed to be all out.
For Australia, Pat Cummins, Scott Boland and Cam Green took three wickets each, while Mitchell Starc claimed the other wicket. They did not even need to use Nathan Lyon for a single.
With the result, England have now extended their winless run in Australia to 15 Test matches. They have also managed to win once in their last 14 Test matchhes, since last February.

Alex Carey, who was bowled by a no ball from Chris Woakes on 19, top-scored with 49. Steven Smith (27) and Green (23) failed to convert their starts.
