Ashes 2013/14: England v Australia, fifth Test, day three
England's hopeless tour of Australia ended with another crushing defeat, completing a series whitewash. Here are the best images from day three in Sydney, as Australia romped to a 281-run victory

At the start of play, England's James Anderson greets the former Australian cricketer Glenn McGrath and receives a pink cap to mark Jane McGrath Day, which is being held in memory of Glenn's wife, who died in 2008

The Aussies start the day on 140-4. Chris Rogers continues with his fine batting display and races to a century. He's being ably assisted by George Bailey, and together they've stretched Australia's total to 200-4

Scott Borthwick bowls and catches Rogers for 119

Rogers eventually departs to leave Australia on 255-8. Ryan Harris and Peter Siddle are skittled in quick succession as the hosts finish on 276 all out. So England need just the small matter of 448 to win. The question is not so much if they'll lose, but when and by how much?
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2014/01/1252.jpg
England's run chase begins in predictably dour fashion. Australia's Mitchell Johnson celebrates taking the wicket of Alastair Cook. England are 7-1 and patently they have no Plan B
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2014/01/1253.jpg
Ian Bell doesn't last long. He scores 16 runs before being caught at gully. England are 37-2

Bizarrely, Michael Carberry's bat is broken by an innocuous delivery from Ryan Harris. It says it all really – even England's equipment can't stand up to the onslaught

Australia's George Bailey takes a catch off the bowling of Ryan Harris to dismiss Kevin Pietersen for six, leaving England on 57-3
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2014/01/1256.jpg
Carberry falls with England on 87, then Gary Ballance (pictured) is out lbw to Johnson for just seven runs. Moments later, Bairstow is caught by Bailey for a duck and Borthwick is caught by Clarke for four. That flurry of wickets (four for eight runs) has put England on the edge of defeat. They are now seven down for 95

When Broad and Rankin are polished off in quick succession, the victory is complete. Australia have won the series 5-0 (and all five of them have been absolute thrashings)
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2014/01/1259.jpg
Misery for Boyd Rankin and James Anderson as they walk off at the end of the match. England have lost this match by a whopping 281 runs
