With tensions still high after a controversial second Test at Lord’s, which Australia won and led 2-0 in the series, Broad made England fans rise from their seats when he removed opener David Warner for the 16th time in his Test career at the first break.

Ollie Robinson then found Marnus Labuschagne on the edge of the infield, and the third-ranked batter in the world struck out with 21 points.

Steve Smith’s key wicket, piercing keeper Johnny Bairstow in his 100th Test for Australia, really put England in the lead as they looked to stop their old foes to clinch the urn with two matches to spare.
