2 Ashes tests, 2 losses: Not much is going right for England

After lopsided losses in the first two Ashes tests, England captain Joe Root says he's frustrated by three components of his team's performance.

You have to be able to put the ball in the right areas for long enough, Root said after England's 275-run loss to Australia in Adelaide on Monday. You have to be able to score big runs, and if there's chances, you have to take them. The Adelaide loss followed a nine-wicket defeat in the opening match in Brisbane. There, England only scored 147 in its first innings and Australia notched 425, leaving the visitors 278 runs in arrears going into their second innings. The frustration within our dressing room is that we have missed out or we're not quite executing those basic things well enough for the second game in a row, Root said. And we need to respond very quickly. The next match begins Sunday, the traditional Boxing Day test at the Melbourne
