Alastair Cook helps to roast Aussies as England take a 2-1 Ashes lead

Captain Alastair Cook set his sights on regaining the Ashes at Trent Bridge after England brushed aside Australia inside three days to take a 2-1 series lead.

The home side wrapped up a memorable eight-wicket victory in front of a febrile Edgbaston crowd, with seven sessions of the match remaining.

Ian Bell led the way, his unbeaten 65 seeing England past their 121-run target and completing a remarkable turnaround following Australia’s crushing win at Lord’s.
