WTC Points Table 2025-27: England's fierce "Bazball" approach faced a brutal reality check in Brisbane, as Australia sealed a compelling 8-wicket triumph on Day 4 of the second Ashes Test on Sunday despite a gallant effort from Ben Stokes and Will Jacks, who put on a crucial 96-run stand for the seventh wicket.
Pacer Michael Neser's pinpoint precision and Steve Smith's outstanding slip fielding cleverness collectively trounced England's prospects of ending their 14-year Test win drought in Australia.
Australia needed to chase a target of 65 runs to win, which they achieved with ease, securing an eight-wicket triumph over England in just 10 overs. This dominant performance came after England were bowled out for 241 in their second innings.
England's thrashing in the Day-Night Test has had a significant impact on their World Test Championship (WTC) standings, with the Three Lions slipping to seventh spot in the 2025-27 points table.
