The Ashes⁠

How England performed

Two up after two Tests, England lost the last three of the 1936–37 series as Australia came back to win 3–2. In Brisbane, England made 358 and 256 and bowled Australia out for 58 in the fourth innings to win by 322 runs; in Sydney they declared at 426 for six and dismissed Australia for 80 and 324, winning by an innings and 22 runs.

The turnaround began in Melbourne, where both sides declared their first innings, Australia at 200 for nine and England at 76 for nine, before Australia's second-innings 564 set up a 365-run win. Australia then won by 148 runs in Adelaide, despite trailing 330 to 288 on first innings, and by an innings and 200 runs in the decider in Melbourne, where they made 604.
