Broad's six carries England to victory

Pacer Stuart Broad took six for 50 to destroy Australia in their second innings and lift England to a 74-run victory, on day four of the fourth Ashes Test in Durham, on Monday.

- Scorecard

Australia collapsed from 109 for one to 224 all out as England went 3-0 up in the five-match Ashes series.

Harris shines with the ball

Pacer Ryan Harris had earlier produced the best figures of his Test career, taking seven for 117 as England were dismissed for 330 in their second innings.

Australia, who were set 299 to win the fourth Ashes Test, were off to a good start.

David Warner and Chris Rogers put on 109 runs for the opening wicket before the latter was dismissed close to the tea interval after scoring 49.

Warner was unbeaten on a fluent innings of 57 from 83 balls, while Usman Khawaja was batting on six as Australia reached 120 for one in 33 overs at the tea break.

Bell dismissed for 113

In-form Ian Bell resumed on his overnight score of 105 and quickly took his run tally for the series to 500 before Harris bowled him for 113 with an in-swinger that stayed low.

Prior bowled for a golden duck

Matt Prior followed one ball later for a golden duck after another perfect in-swinger from Harris deflected off his elbow and on to the stumps.

Broad falls for 13

Australian paceman Harris removed Stuart Broad for 13 with a vicious bouncer that the all-rounder gloved to Steve Smith in the gully.

Nightwatchman Tim Bresnan went on to the counter attack with a bright and breezy innings before Harris had him caught and bowled for 45.

England bowled out for 330

Nathan Lyon removed last man James Anderson for a duck, leaving Graeme Swann unbeaten on 30.

Harris took seven for 117 to surpass his previous Test best of six for 47 achieved against the same opposition in Perth in December 2010.

Warner gives Australia good start

David Warner came out with an attacking approach to give Australia a good start with the bat in their second innings.

Warner, suspended for punching England batsman Joe Root in a Birmingham bar during the Champions Trophy tournament in June, carried the attack to the home team with a series of crunching strokes.

While Chris Rogers was content to nudge and nurdle, Warner was in typically pugnacious mood and he welcomed Swann to the attack by lofting the spinner over wide mid-off for six.

Rogers falls for 49

Chris Rogers continued his good run with the bat with another useful innings with the bat.

Rogers, who made a century in the first innings, made 49 before he was caught at first slip by Jonathan Trott off Graeme Swann.

Bresnan gets the key wicket of Warner

Warner reached his half-century from 74 balls with a well-timed square cut off Bresnan.

Usman Khawaja failed to carry on after getting off to a good start and was trapped leg before wicket by Swann for 21.

Warner was also dismissed a few overs later when he was caught behind off Bresnan as Australia slipped to 168 for three.

Broad destroys Australia

Broad (6-50) picked up his second five-wicket haul of the match with another dynamic burst of fast bowling as he and Bresnan (2-36) ripped the heart out of the Australian batting.

With one wicket left to fall, Broad came back on to seal England's third straight win in an Ashes series by removing Peter Siddle for 23.
