England Crushed in Third Morning of Ashes Test, Australia Retains Title

Dominant Performances Lead to 275-Run Victory

Travis Head's Impressive Century Gives Australia Advantage

Australia has successfully defended the Ashes title after crushing England by 275 runs on the third morning of the first Test at the Gabba. England's hopes were shattered as they were bowled out for a mere 68 runs in just over an hour.

Scott Boland was the hero for Australia, taking six wickets in the second innings. Jonny Bairstow, who was hit on the finger by Pat Cummins earlier, put up an impressive fight with a brilliant century. Ben Stokes, despite battling a side injury, also contributed 66 runs off 91 balls.

However, England's efforts were not enough to overcome Australia's dominance. Travis Head's aggressive and calculated century on the second day had set the foundation for their victory. England's innings collapsed dramatically after winning the toss and batting first, with Mitchell Starc removing Rory Burns with the first ball of the match.

Despite a late rally on the first day, England's hopes faded as James Anderson and Mark Wood struck again. Australia holds a 3-0 lead in the series with two tests remaining, making England's chances of regaining the Ashes slim.
