England win second Ashes Test to lead series

Adelaide: England won the second Ashes test by an innings and 71 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series after dismissing Australia's last six batsmen for 66 runs in the first session of the final day on Tuesday.

Graeme Swann completed a five-wicket haul and James Anderson took two wickets in two balls as the tourists' took their first test victory on Australian soil since the 2002-03 tour and a first series lead in Australia since 1986-87.
"We never gave them a look in the game," England captain Andrew Strauss told reporters.
"We need to enjoy this and savour it, because it was a special victory for us ... but it's important that we don't let the Australians back in the series now.
"We know the game of cricket and we know it has a way of biting you if you start patting yourself on the back too much."
