Stuart Broad claimed eight wickets as England bowled out Australia for 60 runs inside 19 overs before lunch on day one of the fourth Ashes Test at Trent Bridge this afternoon.

In what was a torrid session for the touring Aussies, only two players made double figures, with Mitchell Johnson their top scorer on just 13. In fact, their biggest contribution came from the extras column, which was worth 14 runs.

As for Broad, who headed into the encounter at his home ground just one wicket short of the 300 landmark, his haul of wickets came at the expense of 15 runs.

He claimed his first with just the third ball of the day when from around the wicket, Chris Rogers edged his delivery into the slips, which presented England captain Alastair Cook with a routine catch.

Rogers was soon followed back to the pavilion by his replacement Steven Smith, who made just six before he too fell to the bowling of Broad. Mark Wood, deemed fit enough to replace the injured James Anderson, then got in on the act when he removed David Warner for a duck, before Broad took centre stage again.

As Australia crumbled, the 29-year-old seamer accounted for the wickets of skipper Michael Clarke, Adam Voges, Mitchell Starc and Johnson. The wicket of Voges was a particularly memorable one, thanks largely to the athletic catch taken in the slips by a diving Ben Stokes.

Fresh from his man-of-the-match exploits during the third Test at Edgbaston, Steven Finn had earlier clean-bowled Peter Nevill, before the final say went to Broad when Nathan Lyon edged his bouncer to Stokes to ensure that Australia had recorded their lowest Ashes score since 1936.

In response, England, who would regain The Ashes if they were to win this encounter, made it to 13-0 in the three overs before lunch with openers Cook (4) and Adam Lyth (8) both unbeaten.
