England down for the count, but still fighting

England had their best day with the bat for the Test, ending the day with a fighting 5/265, including a maiden century for Cook. Flintoff and Pietersen resume for the final day on a pitch which is increasingly giving Warne more turn. It looks like the day the Ashes get decided, unless there is a heroic last stand by Englands two tigers.

Australia took control of the game, with three second inning's centuries, including the second fastest ever by Adam Gilchrist. England require 538 runs to snatch a highly improbable win.

The end is nigh
