Brisbane: 

Australia has gained a commanding lead in the Ashes series with a clinical 82-run win over England. A match that had a back and forth turned out well for the Aussies, whose temperament had trumped the visitors' on the last day. The Travis Head Show. The highlight was provided by Travis Head, who came in from a 2nd innings game where 170 off 219 balls pulled the game away from England. His aggressive work stroke ensured that Australia reached a target far beyond England’s horizon. Alex Carey made the opening 106 in the first innings the moment he set the tone of the match. Under Pressure Bowling Unit Pushes Through. If England’s Jofra Archer scored a blaring 5-wicket haul in the first innings, the Australian bowling unit hunted in packs. For the opening innings, Scott Boland was back in rank with 3-45. Pat Cummins set up from the front in the last chase, compiling 3-48 to overcome England’s resistance. England’s Josh Tongue also hit 4 wickets in the second innings, but that wasn’t enough to stop the Australian juggernaut. Verdict: Australia’s depth in batting and bowling is still their greatest asset. With Head and Carey bathed in sublime form, the hosts seem favorites to keep the urn
