England Test captain Joe Root has asked his team to play for pride now and conceded it was "bitterly disappointing" to be beaten so badly in the third Ashes Test.

England pressed the self-destruction button on Tuesday -- Day 3 of the third Test at the MCG -- as they were bundled out for just 68 runs in the opening session of the day, with Australia winning the match by an innings and 14 runs.
