Dec 6 : Former Ashes-winning captain Michael Vaughan said England were being humiliated in the second test in Brisbane after a woeful third day left them on the brink of defeat on Saturday.

England eventually bowled out Australia for 511 to trail by 177 after the first innings before collapsing from 90-1 to 134-6 after several batsmen were dismissed playing careless shots.

Barring something extraordinary on Sunday, England are on the brink of slipping 2-0 down in the five-match series to leave their dream of winning back the Ashes in tatters.

Vaughan, who led England to a memorable series victory at home in 2005, said the attacking style of play under captain Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum was becoming predictable.
