This is now Jos Buttler's longest ever innings in an Ashes Test (by balls faced). “We can’t keep making the same mistakes.” “We need to be better,” England captain Joe Root conceded after the loss. Richardson put the final nail in the coffin, dismissing tailender James Anderson as the sun started setting over the Adelaide skyline.

Richardson eventually knocked over Woakes with the second new ball, but Buttler continued his marathon knock at the other end.
