England’s batting fails as Australia take 2-0 lead

England’s batting lineup struggled once again as Australia took a commanding 2-0 lead in the Test series. The English batsmen failed to counter the potent Australian bowling attack, losing wickets at regular intervals.

Captain Joe Root’s century in the first innings was a lone bright spot in an otherwise dismal performance by the English team. The rest of the batting order crumbled under the pressure, with several players getting out cheaply.

Australia’s bowlers, led by Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc, were relentless in their approach and bowled with great accuracy. The England team could not find a way to counter the pace and swing of the Australian bowlers.

The lack of partnerships and solid batting performances cost England dearly as they were unable to post a competitive total in either innings. The Australian team, on the other hand, capitalized on the opportunities presented to them and put up big scores.

With this 2-0 lead, Australia is now in a strong position to win the series and retain the Ashes. England will need to regroup quickly and come up with a better batting strategy if they are to make a comeback in the remaining matches.
