Former Test champions, England beat arch-rivals Australia by an innings and 78 runs in the fourth Ashes 2015 Test and regained the Ashes urn. England, who had lost the urn around an year and a half back at home have regained the urn back after 599 days. England decimate Australia by an innings and 78 runs in the fourth Ashes 2015 Test at Trent Bridge. The have regained the urn having taken an unassailable 3-1 lead with one more match to go. England needed just three wickets to win going into Day Three, whereas Australia needed 90 runs to make England bat again, which they eventually failed to do so.
England can be happy with their performance but they too have some issues that they need to address. They will look to win the final Test at the Oval as well to pile on more misery on Australia. If James Anderson returns to the side for the final Test, it will be interesting to see who among Steven Finn and Mark Wood miss out. Australia on the other hand will have to make a lot of changes if they have to get a consolatory win in the series. They had just one good game at Lord’s, where the entire squad chipped in. The selectors need to make a few changes quickly for the betterment of Australia cricket.
Following the win, the social media, especially the Twitter was flooded with reactions, as fans and legends congratulated the England team on their historic feat. Following are the few reactions from Twiiter:
If you play cricket at any level watching the celebration of England winning the ashes will surely inspire you and give you goosebumps

Innings and 78 run win at Trent Bridge represents not just an Ashes win, but Ashes dominance. Congrats to the team Cook built.
