What happened

England's collapse came on the same Perth ground where they were beaten inside two days in last November's first Ashes Test, and hours after Australia captain Pat Cummins — rested for this series — had held a long press conference in Sydney about the revived 2018 ball-tampering dispute. On the field, a home attack missing its rested front-line pace bowlers still bowled England out in under 34 overs.
