Steven Finn tips the third Ashes Test in England's favour with a devastating bowling display on day two at Edgbaston.

A devastating bowling display from Steven Finn has swung the third Ashes Test in England's favour following the second day at Edgbaston.

The seamer ended with figures of 5-45 after tearing through Australia's batting lineup during the final session of the day.

Starting the evening session on 73-2, Australia lost five more wickets by the close of play to leave them on 168-7 - a second-innings lead of 23 runs.

Michael Clarke's slump with the bat continued in the 17th over when he was caught by Adam Lyth off the bowling of Finn for 10.

Finn then struck again with his very next ball, this time dismissing the helpless Adam Voges for a golden duck when Ian Bell claimed the catch.

The seamer's day got even better six overs later as Mitchell Marsh was sent packing for six to leave the Aussies floundering on 92-5.

David Warner dug his heels in at the crease as Australia's main source of resistance during the final session, but England eventually got him out for 77 when James Anderson and Lyth combined.

With everything going the home side's way, their mood was soured soon after Warner's dismissal as Anderson was forced off the pitch with a side injury. The England and Wales Cricket Board later confirmed that the bowler would be assessed overnight.

England's spirits were lifted again not long after, though, with Finn claiming his fifth wicket when Mitchell Johnson was caught by Ben Stokes for 14. Peter Nevill (37*) and Mitchell Starc (7*) will resume out in the middle for Australia on Friday.
