Mitchell Starc to Rory Burns, FOUR! Edgy boundary but Rory Burns is up and running. Starc angles this one in at off stump and the ball straightens after pitching. Burns gets squared up but luckily for him, the outside edge drops short and goes between third slip and gully for a boundary. He is off the pair. The change of hair has worked!

Cameron Green to Rory Burns, FOUR! Great effort by Marnus Labuschagne but it is a boundary! Length ball, outside off. Burns drives it nicely through covers. Marnus Labuschagne chases it and does so till the end. He puts in a slide to bring it back in. The TV umpire is called in to check though. Replays show that his hand just brushed the boundary padding while he tries to pull it back in. Boundary.

Cameron Green to Rory Burns, OUT! BOWLED! Oh, dear. Oh, dear dear. What has happened there? A session that was dominated by England ends with their opening stand broken! Length ball, just outside off. This comes in with the angle and gets quite close to the off pole. Now, Burns decides to leave it a bit too late and that proves to be his undoing. The ball takes the bottom part of the bat and goes onto hit the stumps! A much-needed wicket for Australia and that is Tea on Day 3!

Cameron Green to Dawid Malan, FOUR! Streaky boundary to get off the mark from Dawid Malan but he will take it. Full and outside off, Malan throws his hands at it and manages to squeeze it behind point for a boundary. Under 200 required now to win.

Cameron Green to Dawid Malan, OUT! Chopped on! Cameron Green does get the wicket of Dawid Malan and he is elated. Malan was troubled by the short ball and that extra zip that Green is getting off the surface. This is on a good length, close to off stump and just nips back in ever so slightly. Dawid Malan is indecisive and has a late poke at it. His feet don't move and the inside edge is found. The ball goes back onto hit the off stump. Is this the opening the hosts were looking for?

22.2
Cameron Green to Zak Crawley, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Cameron Green is turning this match on its head all by himself! Green pitches this one up, around off and this one seems to be going on with the angle but just straightens a bit, enough to get the knick. Zak Crawley is drawn forward and he plays for the line but is undone by the late movement. The ball goes off the outside edge and Alex Carey dives to his right to take a sharp catch. Crawley was looking so good out there and now the visitors are certainly under pressure with two new batters out in the middle.

27.5
Mitchell Starc to Ben Stokes, OUT! TAKEN! GONE! England in big, big trouble now! A brilliant catch by Lyon and Starc is pumped! He gets the important wicket of Stokes at the right moment for Australia. A surprise bumper, on middle. Stokes goes for the pull but gets the top edge. The ball goes towards deep square leg. Lyon, who hasn't had a lot to do in this game, runs in from the fence. He dives forward and takes a very good catch.

29.2
Mitchell Starc to Joe Root, FOUR! Misfield and a boundary! Length and on off. Root drives it nicely and the man at mid off misfields after diving to his right. The ball tickles to the fence. That brings up 5000 runs as Test captain for Joe Root.

31.4
Scott Boland to Joe Root, OUT! BOWLED! Oh, boy. Speechless. Simply speechless. Root has a wry smile on his face and to be honest, there is nothing else he can do. Boland though is over the moon and he can do no wrong in the series. That is a really unfortunate way to get out. Lands on a length, on off and simply does not rise up! It shoots low and goes under the bat as Root is in the crease to block it. It goes onto hit the off pole and Root walks back. Things could get over soon now.

35.1
Scott Boland to Sam Billings, OUT! CAUGHT! Soft dismissal for Sam Billings and England are just crumbling under pressure. A length ball, angling into middle and leg. There is a bit of an extra bounce on offer for Scott Boland and that is what catches Billings out. He doesn't move his feet and is caught on the crease as he flicks it uppishly and straight into the hands of the skipper, Pat Cummins at mid on. It's all but over now for the visitors. Chris Woakes is the new man in.
W
36.2
Pat Cummins to Ollie Pope, OUT! Cleaned up! The last of the recognized batters perishes and Australia all over the visitors right now. Pat Cummins hurls across a length ball that is angled into leg stump. Ollie Pope walks right across his stumps as he looks to flick it away. He misses and pays the ultimate price as the ball crashes into leg stump. Just three wickets to go now and England cannot believe it.

Scott Boland to Chris Woakes, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Edged and taken wonderfully by Alex Carey! Boland goes fuller, around off. Chris Woakes gives himself room and goes for the big heave on the leg side. The ball comes off the outside edge and flies to the right of the keeper. Alex Carey springs and takes a gem of a catch. Woakes perishes and Australia just two wickets away now from victory.

Pat Cummins to Mark Wood, OUT! BOWLED! Cummins gets his man! Mark Wood knows there's no point in hanging around and looks to go out with a few lusty blows. A short ball, outside off and Wood shuffles across looking to hook it away. The ball hurries onto him and he ends up getting an inside edge back onto the stumps and that's just been the story of this series. The English team just throwing in the towel way too early.

38.5
Pat Cummins to Ollie Robinson, OUT! BOWLED! What a way to end the series as it is the captain, Pat Cummins, who gets the final wicket and takes his team to victory! Full, fast and dead straight. Ollie Robinson moves across the leg stump and just has no answer for the yorker. The ball shatters the stumps and AUSTRALIA WIN BY 146 RUNS AND WIN THE ASHES 4-0!
