Summary:Here, Press Association Sport takes a look at the sorry tale of the series and England's run of form. ¦ England have now lost eight successive Ashes Tests Down Under, following their 5-0 whitewash in 2013-14, and have also failed to win any of their last nine away Tests against any opposition since beating Bangladesh in October 2016. ¦ It is only the eighth time a team have lost a Test by an innings after scoring 400 or more in their first knock. Broad has taken only five wickets in as many innings, with a bowling average of 61.80. ¦ Nathan Lyon, meanwhile, has dominated the battle of the spinners with 14 scalps to Moeen Ali's three (plus one for Joe Root). ¦ Australia tail-enders Starc and Pat Cummins between them have hit as many sixes in the three Tests in this series as the entire England team (four), despite Starc contributing just 33 runs in total.
