With Australia retaining the Ashes 2025/27 with a 3-0 lead in the five-match Test series against England, they have continued their stay at the top of the World Test Championship (WTC) 2025/27 points table as they have now gained six victories in as many games at a pct of 100. Meanwhile, England has dropped down to the seventh spot with just two wins in eight games.

South Africa, with three wins in four clashes, finds itself in second position at a pct of 75, while Sri Lanka warms the benches at three, despite getting just one win in their two clashes so far of the competition. New Zealand has a chance to leapfrog them if they win their ongoing third Test against the West Indies at Bay Oval.

Australia posted a massive score of 371 in the first innings thanks to a 106-run knock of Alex Carey, while Usman Khawaja, turning up at number four, nailed a fine knock of 82 runs before Mitchell Starc, amassing 54 runs in 75 balls at a strike rate of 72, with the help of nine boundaries, as they posted 371 in the first innings.

England had the chance to bat long and deep and rule the hosts out of the contest, but their first innings score of 286 was never going to be enough. Still, they showed fight in the fourth innings. The only issue was their schoolboy errors from the batters, including Harry Brook, who aimed at reverse sweeping Nathan Lyon, only to lose his leg stump.

On the fifth morning, Jamie Smith and Will Jacks showed grit and patience, but all was too late and little to save the game as Australia retained the Ashes 3-0 with an 82-run victory.
