Live: After wrapping up the England tail, Australia has been set a massive total to claim an outright Ashes series victory on day four of the Fifth Test | TheMattBungard

Jack Leach is injected into the attack now, and a couple of singles off his first over see Australia pass the half century mark. His very first delivery was a peach, Smith leaving it outside off stump even though it was agonisingly close to the wicket.Ten overs gone, and this now-reliable pair of Smith and Labuschagne have been solid so far. They've put on 15 for the third wicket and looked rock solid at both ends.

That's now SEVEN times this series where Broad has taken the wicket of Warner. He goes for 11, and Australia are 2/29.I was about to say, it was a solid start for the Aussies - after that nervous first over, Warner has largely been untroubled by Broad, as he and Harris have done a solid job of seeing off the new ball - with a couple of nice shots along the way.

The struggling opener survives though, and works a ball off the pads for two to get himself off the mark. 0/3 after the first over for the Aussies.One innings left in this Ashes series. Australia need 399 to win the match - and if they were to succeed, it would be the fourth-biggest run chase ever. Plenty of height, but no distance on the shot and Josh Hazlewood takes a simple catch. Australia will need 399 to win!Stuart Broad has come to the crease as the number 11 and is here for a good time, not a long time - he's lashed two sixes over the legside fence off the bowling of Pat Cummins in the same over, and the lead is now 398.In a rare twist, Australia have used a review correctly.

Steve Smith's historic Ashes feat not enough to rescue AustraliaSteve Smith achieved a feat that eluded even Don Bradman but it was not enough to rescue Australia after another substandard batting performance. Once a cheat.... he's great -- the rest of the batsmen are bloody awful and should never tour England again Apart from Smith and Labuschagne, our batting lineup is horrendous. The worst I’ve seen in a long long time. These guys have absolutely no idea how to score. Warner....are you serious? It’s a wonder how we retained these ashes.

Foul language: Tim Paine downplays Ashes sledging row'It's competitive Test cricket and people are going to talk to each other.' Australia captain Tim Paine downplayed a sledging row as tempers from both sides frayed towards the end of a gruelling Ashes series something else Paine got wrong.... Wade was doing it in the last test as well. Don't know how he thinks he has the right to mouth off, he is lucky to be in the side in the first place. England's simple comeback is to tell the loudmouths to take a look at the scoreboard
