England are on the brink of losing the first Ashes Test after Australia dominated the fourth day at The Gabba in Brisbane.

Australia have put themselves on the verge of victory in the first Ashes Test after dominating the fourth day in Brisbane.

Needing 170 to win, the hosts require only 56 more on Monday, having reached the close on 114-0 with their bowlers having dismissed England for 195.

The tourists had opportunities to set Australia a more challenging chase, but Joe Root (51), Jonny Bairstow (42) and Moeen Ali (40) failed to make a significant impact following good starts.

After Moeen was controversially stumped off the bowling of Nathan Lyon, England's tail was blown away by vicious fast bowling from Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins.

David Warner (60*) and Cameron Bancroft (51*) then saw off the new ball, upped the run-rate once England's change bowlers came into the attack and remained together until the close.

On Monday the hosts are all but guaranteed to go 1-0 up in their quest to regain The Ashes and preserve an unbeaten record at The Gabba that stretches back to 1988.
