England batsman Ian Bell believes that the team's all-round strength has helped them take a 2-0 lead over Australia in the Ashes series.

Ian Bell has claimed that England's potency with the bat and the ball has helped them move 2-0 ahead in the Ashes series.

The batsman notched up his third century in as many Ashes Tests during England's 247-run win over Australia in the second Test at Lord's.

"That's the importance of our side – no one really stands out," he told the ECB's official website.

"It's about the bowling unit doing their jobs and the batting unit getting enough runs on the board so our bowlers can get 20 wickets."

England could clinch the Ashes series with a win in the third Test at Old Trafford that begins on Thursday.
