London ∙ English fans expected a miracle from Ben Stokes, like the one he showed at Headingley four years ago. But it ended with Josh Hazelwood’s first ball of the 73rd over. England’s resistance ended when captain Stokes returned with a catch to wicketkeeper Alex Carey. After that, Australia won the 2nd Ashes Test by 43 runs following rolling the tail of England. Score: Australia – 416,279. England–325,327.
Player of the match is Steve Smith who scored a century in Australia’s first innings. Third Test at Headingley from Thursday. In the third Test of the 2019 Ashes series, Stokes scored a century in partnership with eleventh-man Jack Leach to give England a memorable wicket win. England, who were batting at 114 for 4 on the last day yesterday, were hoping for Stokes’ bat. Ben Duckett (83) gave a great contribution to England’s desire to win.

But with Duckett and Jonny Bairstow (10) out in incredible fashion, Stokes became a one-man battle. Stokes returned following adding 108 runs with Stuart Broad for the 7th wicket. Broad’s contribution is just 11 runs!
English Summary : Ashes: Stokes ton goes in vain as Australia win at Lord’s, lead series 2-0
