Australia coach Darren Lehmann admits that his side were outplayed by England in the key moments of the Ashes series, leading to the 3-2 defeat.

Australia coach Darren Lehmann has conceded that his side were "outplayed" by England in the Ashes.

The Baggy Greens fell to a 3-2 series defeat to Alastair Cook's men, despite producing overwhelming victories in the matches at Lord's and The Oval.

Lehmann believes that the Three Lions' displays in the "key moments" of the series was difference between the teams.

He told Sky Sports News: "That's how we should play. It's a good fightback after losing the Ashes. To play that way was a lot better. But full credit to England. They deserved to win the Ashes. They outplayed us.

"If you look at all the stats, I think we had three of the top five run-getters, and four of the top five bowlers. But they won the key moments and we didn't do that. We won this Test match and Lord's but not good enough in the others.

"It was an unbelievable series – none of them went five days. I think once they got on top they really kept the pedal to the metal and really pushed hard for the victory."

Australia play Bangladesh in their next Test series later this year.
