Adelaide, Australia ¨C Dominant Australia collected the last four wickets it 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 that finally showed some fight.
England¡¯s dogged resistance on Day 5 at Adelaide Oval lasted into the second session before Scott Boland removed Josh Tongue for an 82-run victory to ensure the famous urn remains in Australian hands.
¡°It feels pretty awesome,¡± said Australia captain Pat Cummins.
