England Coach Trevor Bayliss believes that England left some "scars" on the Australia team during the second Ashes Test and can still enjoy success Down Under despite being 2-0 down with three more games to play against dominant Aussies. England raised hopes of a remarkable comeback victory when they managed to get on top of their hosts on day three and four of the day-night contest in Adelaide, only to slack to a huge 120-runs defeat on Wednesday. As holders of the Ashes, England would at least need to win two and draw one of the remaining Tests in Perth, Melbourne and Sydney to take the urn back home with them.

England coach Bayliss who also admitted that batting was more of a concern than the bowling with not a single Englishman yet to make a century in four innings where the tourists managed scores of 302, 195, 227 and 233. "You have to take 20 wickets but, to put pressure on the opposition, you have to score more than 220 in each innings," 

England did have Australia rattled in the night session on day three when James Anderson, Stuart Broad and Chris Woakes got the ball moving around under the lights. Other positives for England were a solid debut from Craig Overton, who looked good with ball, bat and in the field, and a rare good performance outside England from Woakes, who took 4-36 in the second innings.
