  Just the 4 runs for Brad Haddin then. Broad again, lbw. The Aussies appeal but to no avail.
  
  181-7. Could it all be over tonight?

  Another lbw and another wicket for Broad. Harris is gone for 11.
  
  Australia now 199-8. Let's put them out of their misery.

  Broad has more than justified his pick in this match hasn't he... With the additional half hour that could be played and I suggest in this case it will be, it should be over tonight. Peter Siddle on 11 at the moment but he hasn't done much with the bat, but perhaps it is his turn to delay the inevitable... with 96 more runs needed I can't see them lasting out for that...
  A win and another Ashes series win for England will be ensured. Someone said it on commentary earlier, that the Aussies have forgotten how to win since they have lost so many Ashes tests on the trot now.

  They're as scared of us as we were of them in the 90s.
  
  Feels good, doesn't it?

  Broad just sent the right stump flying! Beautiful delivery and Lyon is stopped on 8.
  
  One more wicket and the series is ours. Surely that will happen tonight now.

  Plenty of light meter action at the moment. It's not too bright out there so they've sent for a spinner. Joe Root could be the man to win us the Ashes!

  So it's 6 wickets in the innings and 11 for the match for Stuart Broad as England win the Ashes! Jimmy Anderson catches Siddle on 23 and that is that.
  
  It's not been plain sailing in this match by any means but England's quality shone through when it needed to, and the game is put to bed with a day to spare.
  
  Australia all out for 224. Howzat!

  Howzat! indeed, what a bloody turnaround, and to take 9 wickets in a session is nothing short of amazing. At 147 for 1 the Aussies are thinking, yep, we got this one, Khawaja then goes after just getting a start but when Warner falls, the rot well and truly sets in as 4 more wickets fall for only 7 runs, with only the bowlers left it's only a matter of time and time was kind with the extra half hour even though Cook had to bowl Root to see them through the murky light, but that cleared, and the sun shone and Broad cleaned up...
  Broad takes the MOM for his 11 wicket match, I doubt Bell will begrudge him that, and smiles all round.... I think it was Beefy who said that the scary thing is that it is 3-0 and England hasn't even been playing that well and that is all too right, although a couple of decisions going the other way through the tests and it could be 2-1 or even 1-2, or worse had the last test not been rained off, but luck goes with the better side as one of them said earlier, and England has been the better side...
  
  Time for a merciless putting down at the Oval in 9 days time now methinks...
