England's opening batsmen survived a tense half-hour before lunch after Australia were dismissed for 425 on day three in Brisbane on Friday but Joe Root's side face a Herculean task to save the opening Ashes test.
Travis Head finished with a magnificent 152 from 148 balls, Australia's last wicket to fall after another dominant session. Paceman Ollie Robinson, who appeared to be nursing a sore hamstring late on day two, still seemed in a funk and barely threatened with the new ball. Moments later, Nathan Lyon also offered up a caught-and-bowled wicket to Woakes but the seam-bowling all-rounder put down the one-handed chance.Wood, the pick of England's bowlers, finally dismissed Lyon for 15 when the number 10 pulled at a short ball and top-edged to Robinson at square leg.
