Australia beat England in the 2nd Ashes 2023 Test at Lord's, London, on July 2. The visitors successfully defended 370, bowling England out for 327. A scintillating century from England captain Ben Stokes (155) went in vain as the match went down to the wire. Steven Smith's century in the first innings followed by a 77-run knock by Usman Khawaja powered Australia's win.
