London: England regained the Ashes with a 197-run win over Australia in the fifth and final Test at the Oval here on Sunday. Victory, achieved with more than a day to spare, saw England take the five-match series 2-1.
Australia, set what would have been a record fourth innings victory total of 546, were bowled out for 348 with Michael Hussey last man out for 121, when he was caught close in by Alastair Cook off spinner Graeme Swann.
From 327 for five, the end came swiftly with four wickets going down for 16 runs in 32 balls, with fast bowler Stephen Harmison taking three for seven in 13 himself.
