Ashes 2010: The best pictures from day five of the second Test

Stuart Broad is out of the series. He is flying home and will be out for the entire tour – including the one-day games – with an abdominal tear. That is a significant blow. His series stats are appalling – no runs at nought with the bat and two wickets at 80.50 – but he has actually bowled extremely well, building pressure through his accuracy Photograph: Gareth Copley/PA

83rd over: Australia 248-4 (Hussey 50, North 3) Swann's second over of the day is a dramatic one that includes a referral and a dropped catch. The first ball brought an extended shout for LBW against North. I thought it was outside the line but England went for the review. That was probably a worthwhile gamble given that they had two reviews left. The replay showed that North was just outside the line, so the decision stood Photograph: MICK TSIKAS/REUTERS

Then, off the final delivery, Hussey was dropped by Prior! It was a vicious delivery that spat and bounced and just shaved the inside edge on its way through to Prior, who couldn't hang on to his left. It was a fairly difficult chance, but I suppose he should have caught it Photograph: Gareth Copley/PA

WICKET! Australia 261-5 (Hussey c Anderson b Finn 52) I told you it was a mistake to give Steven Finn the new ball! The second ball of his second over is a shortish, straight delivery that Hussey, cramped for room, mispulls straight up in the air. After an age – a bloody eternity, enough time for you to do about seven Countdown conundrums – it drops towards Anderson at mid-on, and he holds on to a routine catch before celebrating with a frenzied abandon I don't think we've ever seen from him before Photograph: BEN MACMAHON/EPA

WICKET! Australia 286-6 (Haddin c Prior b Anderson 12) James Anderson, I heart you. I love you with every particle of my being. He has picked up the huge wicket of Brad Haddin with a wonderful delivery, full of length and moving away just enough to take the edge as Haddin pushed outside off stump. Haddin has been ignoring everything in that corridor, but then Anderson went a touch fuller and a tough straighter, and that meant Haddin had to play Photograph: MICK TSIKAS/REUTERS

WICKET! Australia 286-7 (Harris LBW b Anderson 0) Ryan Harris has got a king pair! He panicked completely and padded up to his first delivery from Anderson, a sharp inducker which rapped him on the pad in front of off stump. That was a diabolical leave. Tony Hill gave him out straight away but, after a word from North, Harris decided to review. The replays showed it was just clipping the top of the stumps – and because he was given out on the field, that's enough for the decision to stand.

WICKET! Australia 286-8 (North LBW b Swann 22) Another one gone! Three wickets in four balls! This is sensational stuff from England. North pushed at a straight one from Swann that hit bat and pad almost simultaneously. It was definitely hitting the stumps, but what came first: the baldness or the midlife crisis? the bat or the pad? North was given not out by Marais Erasmus, but England were very confident and went for the review. To wild cheers, the replays showed that it was indeed pad first Photograph: Morne de Klerk/Getty Images

WICKET! Australia 295-9 (Doherty b Swann 5) Lovely bowling from Graeme Swann, who skids a quicker one through Doherty and into the top of middle stump via the pad. England are one wicket away. One wicket. 24 years. One wicket Photograph: Tom Shaw/Getty Images

WICKET! Australia 304 all out (Siddle b Swann 5). ENGLAND WIN BY AN INNINGS AND 71 RUNS! It's all over! Swann rips a beauty through the gate to bowl Peter Siddle, and England have battered Australia. Absolutely thrashed them Photograph: MICK TSIKAS/REUTERS

This is the first time since January 1993 that Australia have been beaten by an innings at home, and the first time since December 1986 that England have a) beaten Australia by an innings anywhere and b) won a live Ashes Test in Australia Photograph: Hamish Blair/Getty Images

England can thank themselves lucky to have struck before the weather at Adelaide, where a thunderstorm descends soon after England's jubilant players leave the pitch. If they hadn't have been so aggressive the match could have ended as a draw Photograph: Hamish Blair/Getty Images
