Headingley, Leeds, England (GenevaLunch) – Australia leveled the Ashes series 1-1 after completing the formality of taking the last five England wickets. The English batsmen managed to provide entertainment for the crowd, with Stuart Broad and Graeme Swann smashing their way to a 108 run partnership.

Despite their efforts Australia won by an innings and 80 runs. England need to win the last Test, at the Oval, to take the Ashes. Australia need only draw to retain them. The English batsmen Ravi Bopara and Ian Bell are the most likely to be dropped for the final game.
