Ashes 2013/14: England crushed by Australia at the Gabba – in pictures

England start the day on 24-2 needing a minor miracle to salvage anything from this match. By that, we mean they are 537 runs behind and will need to bat for two days solid to earn a draw. Nonetheless, Alastair Cook and Kevin Pietersen make a healthy start to the day Photograph: Cameron Spencer/Getty

Alas, Kevin Pietersen does what Kevin Pietersen so often does: he bites on a short delivery (from Mitchell Johnson) and holes out for 26. England are now 72-3 Photograph: Ryan Pierse/Getty

Ian Bell joins Cook at the crease and the two steer England through to lunch. But after the interval Bell feathers one to the wicketkeeper for 32 leaving England on 130-4 Photograph: Tertius Pickard/AP

Soon after the re-start, Cook is caught by Brad Haddin after nicking Nathan Lyon's delivery. He's out for 65 and England are 142-5 Photograph: Gareth Copley/Getty

Then, five runs later, another wicket. This time it's Stuart Broad off Johnson's delivery Photograph: Chris Hyde/Getty

Then zero runs later, guess what? Yup, this time it's Graeme Swann for a duck off Johnson. So, England are 151-8 and the end is, mercifully, in sight Photograph: Mark Koble/Getty

After Chris Tremlett's dismissal, Michael Clarke is none to friendly when James Anderson comes to the crease. The Australian captain appears to tell him to 'get ready for a broken fucking arm' Photograph: Ryan Pierse/Getty Images

Anderson is caught and bowled by Johnson - a fitting end to a Test in which the Australian bowler has been the star man. England are all out for 179 Photograph: Chris Hyde/Getty
