England Win 2nd Test By An Innings And 71 Runs

Starting the day on 238-4, needing 137 runs to make England bat again, the hosts knew saving the second Test was going to be a tough ask.

But the Tourists had wrapped up the match by Lunch, taking the remaining six wickets in little time.

In-form Michael Hussey was the first to go in the sixth full over, Steven Finn picking up his ninth victim of the series so far. The last remaining batsmen, Marcus North and Brad Haddin, put up little resistance too, being dismissed for 22 and 12 respectively.

That exposed the Australian tail, which was soon polished off by Graeme Swann and James Anderson. The last four batsmen for the home side put on just 18 runs between them - meaning Australia were all out for 304.

Graeme Swann was the bowling hero for England, finishing the innings with figures of 5-91, the 10th five wicket haul of his career.

But it's not all good news for Andrew Strauss' men. It was confirmed before play that bowler Stuart Broad has been ruled out for the rest of the tour with a stomach strain.

The victory is the first innings success against Australia for 24 years and means England need just one more win to retain the Ashes Urn.
