England beat Aus A in Ashes tour match


Hobart: England capped its Ashes preparation with a 10-wicket win over Australia A on Saturday.
Tim Bresnan took four wickets, Chris Tremlett and Monty Panesar three apiece as England dismissed Australia A for 301 in its second innings, leaving itself a chase for only nine runs for victory.
Ian Bell's innings of 192 on Friday helped England to 523 in reply to Australia A's first innings of 230 and set up a win that continued the tourists' impressive form ahead of the Ashes.
Earlier on Saturday, Australia dropped Nathan Hauritz in preference for two untried spinners as it trimmed its squad to 13 players ahead of the first test starting November 25.
