Australia lead the series 3-0 after defeating England by 82 runs in the third Test, securing the Ashes with two matches remaining in the five-match series.
- In Adelaide, England lost the third Test, leaving Australia men's cricket team 3-0 up with two Tests left to retain the Ashes in the five-match series.
- The daunting 435 fourth-innings target proved decisive as the England men's cricket team were bowled out for 352, finishing 82 short of the target.
- Jamie Smith's miscued 60 and Will Jacks' edge to Marnus Labuschagne, plus Josh Tongue's final edge to Labuschagne, sealed England's 352 all out.

- By 2027 England will have waited 12 years to regain the Ashes, and despite selection and injury issues including Pat Cummins and Steve Smith, Australia men's cricket team dominated at home.
