England Australia 4th Test

Australia were all out for 218 and forced to follow on after Simon Jones took his third five-wicket set on the third morning of the fourth Ashes Test.

This is the first that Australia have followed on, inover 190 tests games.

Jones (5-44) removed Simon Katich (45) and Shane Warne with successive balls after a rapid start that saw Australia add 58 runs in the opening nine overs. Andrew Flintoff added Adam Gilchrist from a catch by Andrew Strauss.

Brett Lee valiently tried to get Australia past the follow-on mark with 47 off 44 balls, but he was caught off Jones. Australia's insipid first-innings effort was a full 259 runs short of England's 477.

Gilchrist and Katich started the day with an array of attacking shots gaining maximum return courtesy of an attacking field set by England captain Michael Vaughan.

But any hopes Australia had of recovery were extinguished when Hoggard was replaced by Jones at the Pavilion End.

Katich fell at point five short of his fifty, Warne, effective with the bat so far in this series, fell to the next ball.

Flintoff found Gilchrist's edge but the ball looked to be heading wide of second slip before Strauss, horizontal and airborne, plucked the ball with his outstretched left hand in what must rank as the catch of the series.

Jones then trapped Michael Kaprowicz making it 179-9, Lee made England work hard in a spell that produced three sixes, but attempting another he was caught on the third-man rope by Bell.

Though Australia's openers survived four overs before the break, there is surely no getting out of this mess.
