Nathan Lyon captured a long-awaited 400th Test victim and spun Australia to an emphatic nine-wicket victory in the first Ashes Test in Brisbane on Saturday, with England losing eight wickets in a stunning morning collapse at the Gabba on day four.
Pat Cummins' team dominated England with bat, ball and in the field and head to the day-night second Test in Adelaide with huge momentum as well as a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.
Resuming on 220 for two with the match still within their grasp, England lost their last eight wickets for 77 runs to be bowled out for 297 by lunch, leaving Australia needing only 20 runs to win. “Frustration,” he said. “We worked really hard to get ourselves back in the game last night. It’s a shame that we just couldn’t quite manage to get through that initial phase because it could have been very different.”
That broke a crucial 162-run stand Malan had built with Root on day three that had frustrated Australia's bowlers and stretched into a third session. England promptly lost three wickets for 11 runs with a fired-up Cameron Green having Root caught for 89, the England skipper denied a maiden hundred in Australia yet again.
