England Vs Australia, 2nd Ashes Test, Day 5: Ben Stokes' Heroics Go In Vain As Australia Go 2-0 Up In Ashes Series

Australia took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the Ashes series after beating England by 43 runs in a fiery and controversial second Test in Lord's on Sunday. England captain Ben Stokes hit a stunning 155 after Jonny Bairstow was controversially given out stumped after straying out of his ground on the last day. But England were bowled out for 327 chasing a stiff target of 371. Australian pace attack led by their skipper Pat Cummins did not miss the services of Nathan Lyon as they scalped wickets at regular intervals despite Stokes' all-round attacking display. The third Test starts on July 6 at Headingley.
