The hosts now require 201 runs to win the fourth Ashes Test, with ten wickets remaining, and take a 4-0 lead in the winter series and are the current favourites to win the series.

Australian spinner Nathan Lyon was the hero of the day, finishing with figures of 5 for 50 off 17 overs which included the vital wickets of Ian Bell, Ben Stokes and Kevin Pietersen in quick succession.
