Australia bowls out hosts for 103 to clinch Test by 405 runs, level series 1-1

London: Australia dealt England a humiliating Ashes defeat at Lord's on Sunday, bowling the home team out for 103 for a 405-run victory.

The match ended a day early after Australia dominated every session since Thursday's start.

First, Australia batted and amassed 566-8 declared and then bowled England out for 312.

The tourists then scored a quickfire 254-2 in their second innings to set England a massive 509 runs to win.

It was clear England would struggle, but the team collapsed in ignominious fashion as Australia's bowlers revealed serious flaws in England's batting.

The series is now level 1-1 with three matches to play.

Mitchell Johnson was the standout Australia bowler, taking three wickets in each innings.

Brief scores: Australia 566/8 decl & 254/2 decl (D Warner 83, S Smith 58, C Rogers 49 retired hurt; M Ali 2/78) beat England 312 & 103 (S Broad 25; M Johnson 3/27) by 405 runs
