The Ashes, Match Two Wrap-Up

We're only two matches into the Ashes and this competition is almost over.  England needed only 17 of their 20 potential wickets to crush the Aussies.  With the score 710-128 in the top of the second, and still with three wickets left, England declared itself out in order to have enough time to get the ten wickets it needed to end the game.  Australia needed 582 runs to tie -- and they didn't get close.  Here was the final score:

ENGLAND:  710
AUSTRALIA:  363

So England lead two matches to zero.  The next match starts on August 1 in Manchester.
