PERTH, Australia, Dec 18, 2017 (BSS/AFP) – Australia reclaimed the Ashes by winning the third Test at Perth’s WACA Ground by an innings and 41 runs on Monday.

Needing 259 runs to make Australia bat again on a day where rain and a water damaged pitch delayed the start, England were bowled out for 218 in their second innings.

Josh Hazlewood claimed 5-48 for Australia, as the hosts took an unbeatable 3-0 lead in the five-match series.
