The Australian cricket WAGs were given plenty of reasons to celebrate after they watched their men win the first Ashes Test, at Edgbaston, on Monday.

Nathan Lyon, who was instrumental in the victory, took six wickets as Australia thrashed England by 251 runs.

England, set a daunting 398 for victory, lost four wickets for 12 runs either side of lunch on the last day as they slumped to 97-7.

They were eventually dismissed for 146 in their second innings, with Lyon taking 6-49 -- a haul that included his 350th Test wicket.
