The Ashes: England 'hurting' after defeat in first 2 Tests, looking to get back in Melbourne - Dawid Malan

The Ashes: Dawid Malan said morale in the England camp was "fine" after some honest discussions in the wake of humbling defeats in Brisbane and Adelaide.

England have not given up on winning the Ashes but will need to put in a much improved performance in the third Test if they are to get back into the series after heavy defeats in the first two Tests, batsman Dawid Malan has said.

England are trailing 2-0 in the five-match series after heavy defeats in the first two Tests. England lost the first Test in Brisbane by nine wickets and the second in Adelaide, which was a pink-ball Test, by 275 runs.
