The Australians amassed a massive 303-run innings lead in blistering heat and then reduced the battle-weary tourists to 93 for four at the close with a day to play. Compounding England’s woes was a finger injury for skipper Joe Root, his team’s last major hope of staving off a 4-0 series rout today’s final day of the Test. Root was unbeaten on 42 at the close with Jonny Bairstow not out 17.

The English champions will therefore clinch first place if they avoid defeat, or if Lyon do not win at Shakhtar Donetsk. • Hoffenheim are on three points – all from draws – two behind third-placed Shakhtar. Out of contention for a top-two finish, they must win and hope Shakhtar lose in order to earn a UEFA Europa League place. • The English side came from behind to win in Germany on matchday two in what was Hoffenheim's first home group game in the UEFA Champions League.
