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. Lyon captured the important wickets of Alastair Cook and Dawid Malan to have two for 31 off 19 overs at stumps. “I think Gaz (Lyon) is the key tomorrow.

Ola Toivonen shocked Germany with the opening goal in the 32nd minute before Germany equalised in the 48th minute through Marco Reus. Germany went a man down in the 82nd minute as centre back Jerome Boateng was booked a second time. But Kroos still came up with the game-winner five minutes into stop- page time. “What can I say?
