How England performed
England made a clean sweep of the three-Test series against Australia in 1886. The opener in Manchester was the tightest of the three: England led narrowly on first innings, 223 to 205, bowled Australia out for 123 and reached 107 for six to win by four wickets.
From there the margins widened. At Lord's, London, England scored 353 and won by an innings and 106 runs, Australia managing 121 and 126. The series finished at The Oval, London, where a total of 434 and Australian innings of 68 and 149 produced victory by an innings and 217 runs and a 3–0 series result.
