Australia cruised to a two-day Ashes triumph against England at Perth Stadium, thanks in part to Travis Head's scintillating century. The Australian opener reached the milestone off 69 deliveries, guiding his team to a commanding position on day two.
Head's impressive display propelled Australia to a substantial lead, leaving them well-positioned for victory as they aim to level the series. His century marked the Australian batsman's tenth in Test cricket, cementing his status as one of the country's most reliable and destructive opening hitters.
England struggled to contain Head's attacking play, which saw him dispatch the ball to all corners of the field with ease. The English bowlers were unable to stem the tide, and Australia's top order made hay while it was being made, posting a sizeable total at the close of play.
The result marks another significant defeat for England in the Ashes series, and will come as a blow to their hopes of regaining the urn. With the series currently level at 1-0, the English team must now regroup and reassess their strategy if they hope to mount a comeback.
Australia's victory, however, is a testament to the team's cohesion and depth. The Australian batting lineup, which has been touted as one of the best in the world, proved its mettle once again on day two, with Head leading from the front. As the series continues, it will be fascinating to see how Australia and England respond to these contrasting results.
