Australia win Lord’s Test in drama-charged finish

Australia have taken a 2-0 lead in the Ashes after completing a dramatic 43-run defeat of England in the second Test at Lord’s.

On a fiery final day in London, Ben Stokes threatened to lead England to victory before the hosts were eventually bowled out for 327 in pursuit of 371.

It means Australia can win an Ashes series in England for the first time in 22 years with victory in the third Test at Headingley, starting Thursday.
