Head's Ton Crushes England's Ashes Hopes; Australia Dominates Adelaide Test

• Travis Head's measured 142* (his second century as opener, fourth at Adelaide Oval) gave Australia an unassailable 356-run lead.
• England's sloppiness was evident as Harry Brook dropped Head on 99, a crucial missed opportunity.
• Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer provided a brief fightback, adding 106 for the ninth wicket, with Archer scoring a maiden Test half-century.
• Despite the partnership, England has been comprehensively outplayed, showing inconsistent bowling and costly dropped catches.
• Australia is poised to take a 3-0 lead in the Ashes series, effectively ending England's chances.

Why It Matters: England's Ashes hopes are effectively over after Australia's dominant performance, led by Travis Head's century.
