The Ashes 2025 highlights - day two: Travis Head century hands Australia first Test win over England

Australia Secures Thrilling First Test Win Over England in Perth

Travis Head's impressive century has helped Australia secure a crushing eight-wicket win over England in the first two-day Ashes Test since 1921. The stunning victory marks a significant comeback for the Australian team, who were struggling to find form in the series.

Head's blistering innings of 109 not out played a pivotal role in Australia's emphatic win, as they bowled out England for just 202 runs on day two at Perth Stadium. The Australian tailenders then chipped away at the English total, ultimately leaving England with no hope of recovery.

Australia's victory marks their first Test win over England since 1921, and it is a major confidence booster ahead of the rest of the Ashes series. Head's century was a highlight of an exciting match, which saw several dramatic moments on both sides of the pitch.

The win is also significant for Australia, as it cements their status as the dominant force in international cricket. England, meanwhile, will be left to ponder what could have been, having dominated much of the series so far but ultimately falling short against a resurgent Australian team.

With this thrilling victory under their belt, Australia will now look to build on their momentum and take the upper hand in the Ashes series. The stage is set for an exciting contest ahead, with both teams eager to make their mark and claim the coveted Ashes title.
 
OMG, what a match ๐Ÿคฏ! I'm so happy Australia finally won one of those Tests against England! ๐Ÿ˜… Travis Head's 109* was insane, he's like a superhero on the cricket field ๐Ÿ’ช! And can we talk about how England got bowled out for just 202 runs? ๐Ÿ˜‚ that's crazy!

I think it's great for Australia to get this win, they needed it after that rough patch in the series. It's gonna be super interesting to see what happens next in the Ashes... will England bounce back or keep struggling? ๐Ÿค”
 
I'm loving how Travis Head's century really turned the game around for Australia ๐Ÿคฉ. They've been struggling a bit in this Ashes series, but it looks like they're finally finding their footing. The way they bowled out England for just 202 runs was super impressive - that Aussie team has some serious skills! ๐Ÿ’ช

I think what's really interesting is how this win could give Australia the confidence boost they need to take on England in the rest of the series ๐Ÿ“ˆ. They've got a lot of talented players and it looks like they're finally clicking into place. England, on the other hand, will be feeling pretty deflated after such a crushing defeat ๐Ÿ˜”.

It's always exciting when teams come back from seemingly impossible situations - I'm curious to see how Australia will follow up this win with some more impressive performances ๐Ÿ”ฅ!
 
Australia's win over England was a total nail-biter ๐Ÿคฏ! I mean, they were struggling just a bit before Travis Head stepped up and bashed that century. It's crazy how much of a difference one player can make in a team's performance. And now they're riding high on confidence, which is awesome for them. On the other hand, England was really close to getting back into it but ultimately fell short ๐Ÿค•. I love how unpredictable cricket can be - one day you're up, the next day you're down!
 
Ugh, gotta say, the new commentary feature on this app is SO annoying ๐Ÿ™„! They're always interrupting my game highlights to talk about the ref's decisions or some other non-essentials. Can't they just let me watch the match in peace? ๐Ÿคฏ And another thing, why do they have to make all these unnecessary statistics appear on screen every 2 seconds? It's like they're trying to distract us from the actual game ๐Ÿ“Š๐Ÿ˜’

I mean what's up with Aussie cricket? It feels like they've been stuck in a rut since... well, ever! I remember watching the Ashes back in '97 and how Australia used to dominate England all the time. But now it's England who seem to be on top! Still, Travis Head's innings was pretty sweet - 109 not out is no joke ๐Ÿคฏ. And I'm loving the drama of this match - I've been on the edge of my seat watching it unfold. Guess you could say Australia's back in the game now and they're looking fierce ๐Ÿ’ช. But man, can't wait to see what the rest of the series brings... hope for some more thrills!
