test day 3: Stuart Broad bowls
Stuart Broad seems to have got the bit between his teeth and gets one to leap up and jam Michael Clarke's fingers against the handle. And then he gets the Australian captain on his next delivery when Clarke wafts his delivery to Bairstow, who takes a simple catch Photograph: Steve Christo Photography/Corbis
test day 3: Ben Stokes
The next Aussie wicket falls to Ben Stokes when he gets Steve Smith to nibble at one outside off and the edge flies through to Cook at first slip Photograph: Gareth Copley/Getty Images
test day 3: Stuart Broad
At the end of play Australia are on 140-4 with more than half of those coming from Chris Rogers. They lead by 311. It got better for England as the day wore on but given how terrible they were earlier on that's not really saying much Photograph: Mark Kolbe/Getty Images
