Ashes 1st Test Day 4 England vs Australia Highlights: Australia reach 107/3 at stumps, need 174 more to win

Day 4 is done and dusted and we can say the match is slightly inclined towards England's favour with Australia's Top 3 – David Warner, Marnus Labuschagne, and Steve Smith – back in the hut in the 281-run chase. 

Usman Khawaja and Scott Boland take Australia to 107/3 at stumps on Day 4 and they now need 174 more to go 1-0 up in the five-match series. Khawaja, who scored a ton in the first innings, will hold the key for Australia and will hope for healthy contributions from Travis Head, Cameron Green, and Alex Carey, who are yet to bat. Till then it's goodnight from our end and we'll meet you tomorrow as an exciting day of Test cricket awaits for us.

Stuart Broad inflicts another blow and this time it is Steve Smith, who has to take the long walk back to the pavilion. Smith is caught-behind for 6. 

Smith had survived earlier in the over after the ball had hit the outside edge of Smith's bat, brushed his pads and fallen short before settling in Jonny Bairstow's gloves.

Australia bring up their 50 with a commanding shot by Usman Khawaja, who steps down the track and smashes the ball for a boundary towards the long-on fence. AUS: 57/0, need 227 runs to win

The pair of Warner and Khawaja are slowly building a partnership as England shift to spin. Moeen Ali comes into the attack as AUS reach 35/0, need 246 runs to win.

David Warner and Usman Khawaja are batting in the middle and the chase is on. 

In the two overs so far England also miss a good chance to pack Khawaja early, who scored a century in the first innings. He got a nick in the very first over bowled by James Anderson but the ball flew between Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root at first slip. AUS: 12/0

Pat Cummins will inflict the final blow as the England second innings is folded for 273. James Anderson is the final batter to fall, who is caught-behind for 12. Australia need 281 to win. 

We'll also have tea, following which David Warner and Usman Khawaja will start the Australian run chase.

Ollie Robinson and Stuart Broad keep the scoreboard ticking as England breach the 250-run mark. ENG: 253/8, lead by 260 runs.

A barrage of short balls and it finally pays dividend for Australia as Moeen Ali is caught behind for 19. England lose their 8th wicket, with just 229 on the board.

Pat Cummins gets rid of his opposite number Ben Stokes, with a length ball, which angles towards the left-hander. He is trapped LBW for 43. 

England had taken a review but they won't lose it as it was an umpire's call.

Nathan Lyon breaks the partnership between Stokes and Bairstow, trapping the latter LBW for 20(39). The batter took a DRS but it won't come to his rescue. 

Moeen Ali walks out to bat in the middle. ENG: 197/6, lead by 204 runs

Bairstow and Stokes are coming in all guns blazing at the moment and if the pair continues this for a long time, things will get tricky for Pat Cummins and Co. 

Together they have added 46 runs for the sixth wicket and taken England's lead beyond the 200-run mark. ENG: 196/5

The second session is underway and once again England have increased their scoring rate. 12 runs have come in the three overs that have been bowled in the second session. ENG: 167-5

It has been a mixed opening session for both sides as umpires drop the bails and call for Lunch. England, who resumed from the overnight score of 28/2, lost three more wickets and added 127 runs in the opening session. 

Jonny Bairstow (1) along with Ben Stokes (13) will resume England's charge in the afternoon session. ENG: 155/5, lead by 162 runs

Nathan Lyon inflicts another blow on England as Harry Brook is caught by Marnus Labuschagne at short mid-wicket with a superb diving effort. Brook too falls for 46. Jonny Bairstow is the new batter in. ENG: 150-5

Ben Stokes and Harry Brook do some rebuilding as England reach the 150-mark and extend their lead to 157.

Nathan Lyon gets the prized wicket of Joe Root, who departs for 46(55). Ben Stokes is the new batter in and England's approach too have changed after the dismissal. The batters are taking their time as four runs come in the last three overs. ENG 133-4, lead by 140 runs

Harry Brook and Joe Root have maintained the same approach as they have now stitched 44 runs off 42 balls for the fourth wicket. England's second innings total moves to 121/3 and they lead by 128 runs.

Pat Cummins gets the first breakthrough of the morning as he cleans up Ollie Pope with an inswinging yorker. Pope falls for 14. ENG 77/3  

This is some batting from England. Despite losing two wickets, they have continued with the counterpunch especially against Scott Boland. Joe Root and Ollie Pope combine to hit the pacer for a boundary each in his next over as England race to 61/2, lead by 68 runs.

Joe Root hammers Scott Boland for a FOUR, SIX, and FOUR as 16 runs come from the second over. ENG: 45/2, lead by 52 runs

Joe Root and Ollie Pope arrive in the middle as Day 4 gets underway. Pat Cummins is leading the attack for Australia. ENG: 29/2

The forecast looks good for Day 4, but we might see rain interruptions on the final day.
