Australia have fought back at stumps on a rain-affected opening day of the third Ashes Test at Edgbaston.
The tourists were bowled out for 136 inside 37 overs, but they responded to reduce England to 133-3 before play was halted due to the weather.
England began the final session of the day on 7-0 after tearing through the Aussies earlier in the day, though they were soon a wicket down when Adam Lyth was caught by Adam Voges off the bowling of Josh Hazlewood for 10.
With Alastair Cook and Ian Bell looking like they were ready to build a solid partnership at the crease, Michael Clarke turned to Nathan Lyon for inspiration with the ball and he was swiftly rewarded as Lyon and Voges combined to dismiss the England skipper for 34.
Bell managed to reach his half-century, much to the delight of his home fans, but the veteran was sent back to the pavilion just three runs later as Lyon struck again in the 28th over of England's innings.
Joe Root (30 not out) and Jonny Bairstow (one not out) then steered the home side towards the close of play before rain forced an early halt to proceedings.
