The pitch at the Melbourne Cricket Ground was criticised for being overly favorable to bowlers, with 10mm of grass present. This contributed to the high number of dismissals over the two days, including 36 wickets in total.
Australia resumed their second innings at 4-0, following a challenging first day. Despite efforts from Travis Head and Steve Smith, who remained unbeaten on 24, Australia struggled and were ultimately bowled out for 132. Brydon Carse and Ben Stokes were instrumental in England's bowling attack, securing multiple wickets.
England will proceed to the final Test in Sydney with renewed confidence following this pivotal victory.
