The Ashes 2009 2nd Test has won by England


England has at last had it the 75 year record of not winning a match against Australia in Lord's yesterday as they the second test match by 115 runs.
The contest was in the equilibrium at the start of play. Clarke and Haddin put in an outstanding partnership to take Australia to 313/5 with a 185 partnership at the close of play day 5. An Australian conquest was still in the cards as two came to bat in the morning.
Things, however, changed dramatically as Flintoff took the first wicket of the day in the second over. Haddin was caught behind at the slips by Collingwood and departed without adding up any runs to the overnight score of 313.
The fall of Haddin triggered an Australian collapse, Clarke soon got out miscalculate a well flighted ball from Swann. Clarke was bowled by Swann for 136 runs.
At last, after a lot of hopes and struggles, England has won the match
The celebrations began immediately as England finally won at Lord's against Australia. This is a truly a historic moment for England.
Andrew Flintoff was named as the man of the match for his outstanding performance.
