They're six for 169 in their second innings at stumps, needing another 246 runs to make England bat again.

Brad Haddin is 11 and Mich Johnson has made six.

Ryan Harris is unlikely to bat because of a serious ankle injury.

Tim Bresnan has bowled superbly to claim three wickets for the visitors.

Once they wrap up this match, England will have won an Ashes series in Australia for the first time since the 1986-87 season.
