England beat Australia by eight wickets to win the third Ashes Test at Edgbaston.

England have beaten Australia by eight wickets to win the third Ashes Test with two days to spare at Edgbaston.

The hosts now have a 2-1 lead in the five-match series going into the fourth Test at Trent Bridge.

England were set a target of 121 to win the match on day three after bowling Australia out for 265, and they reached their target before tea.

The home side did not get off to the best of starts at the crease when captain Alastair Cook was dismissed for just seven by Mitchell Starc with five overs bowled.

They were two wickets down seven overs later as Adam Lyth was sent packing lbw for 12 by Josh Hazlewood. The out-of-form batsman opted to review the decision, but replays left no doubt.

Ian Bell and Joe Root then struck up a winning partnership for England, with some dynamic shots from both men putting the Aussies on the back foot and keeping them there. Bell raced to his 50, while Root kept him company with some similarly aggressive batting before the win was sealed.

Bell finished the second innings with an unbeaten knock of 65, with Root ending on 38 not out as England won the third Test in an Ashes series for the first time since 1981.
