England head to Melbourne for the fourth Ashes Test with only pride to play for. Ben Stokes' men suffered defeat in Adelaide last time out to lose the series.
The driving motivation for England now will be to avoid extending their winless run in Australia to 19 matches and finally win a Test down under.
England have surrendered the chance to win the Ashes in only 11 days of cricket and now have Melbourne and Sydney to try and avoid a humiliating clean sweep.
