Sydney: Captain Tim Paine bore the brunt of Australian frustrations yesterday at throwing away the third Ashes Test, with former skipper Ian Chappell saying he "lost his brain" in the final hour.

Australia were on the brink of retaining the Ashes at Headingley on Sunday, but Ben Stokes's remarkable 135 not out saw England reach an unlikely victory target of 359 with one wicket left. The incredible outcome, after England were all out for just 67 in their first innings, could have been very different.
