Left-arm paceman Mithcell Starc ran through the English batting middle order, after Josh Hazlewood scalped both Joe Root (67) and Chris Woakes (5) in his first two overs of the day without addition to their overnight scores.
Thereafter, the Australians took the game by the scruff of its neck with Starc accounting for stumper Jonny Bairstow (36), Craig Overton (7) and Stuart Broad (8) while off-spinner Nathan Lyon added to the woes with the wicket of Moeen Ali.
