Ben Stokes took three wickets for four runs in 13 balls to leave Australia struggling at 138 for four in their second innings at tea on the second day of the fourth Ashes Test at Trent Bridge here today.
Australia were still 193 runs shy of making England, 2-1 up in the five-match series and pressing for an Ashes-clinching win, bat again.
Michael Clarke, the Australia captain, was nought not out and Adam Voges two not out.
All-rounder Stokes had tea figures of three for 20 in eight overs.
Earlier, Alastair Cook declared Egland's first innings on a total of 391 for nine.
That left England with a mammoth first-innings lead of 331 after they had skittled out Australia for just 60 in 111 balls -- the shortest-ever completed first innings of a Test match -- yesterday.
Joe Root top-scored for England with 130 and Jonny Bairstow made 74 as the Yorkshire duo put on 173 for the fourth wicket.
Stuart Broad, who had wrecked Australia's first innings with a Test-best eight for 15, was 24 not out when Cook called a halt to England's reply.
Left-arm fast bowler Mitchell Starc led Australia's attack with Test-best figures of six for 111.
