:Headline: Result: Australia collapse hands England Ashes win: ID:98277: from db_amp
England take nine wickets in the final session of the day to secure victory in the fourth Ashes Test and win the series outright.

England forced a dramatic Australian collapse at the end of day four of the fourth Ashes Test to secure an outright series victory.

The hosts had set their opponents a modest score of 299 to clinch the match, but nine wickets fell during the final session of the day to leave the Aussies on 224 all out.

England were bowled out for 330 during the morning session following a devastating spell with the ball from Ryan Harris.

With England starting on 234-5, Harris tore through the lower order, taking out Ian Bell (113) and Matt Prior (0) with successive deliveries.

Stuart Broad was the next to go (13) before Tim Bresnan fell five runs short of his half-century.

England's time at the crease finally came to an end when Nathan Lyon dismissed James Anderson for a duck.

Australia initially made steady progress out in the middle as they chased their target, moving on to 120-1 at tea.

Rogers and David Warner took control of matters before the former was bowled by Graeme Swann for 59.

However, England fought back in the final session of the day as Usman Khawaja (21) fell to Swann, while Bresnan finally took out Warner for 71.

Broad then got in the act with two vital wickets as Michael Clarke (21) and Steven Smith (2) were sent back to the pavilion.

What was looking like a promising day for the Australian's got even worse in the final stages when Shane Watson (5) and Brad Haddin (4) fell victim to Bresnan and Broad respectively.

Broad then put England on the verge of the series win by bowling Harris (11) and Lyon (8), claiming his 10th wicket of the match in the process.

The umpires granted additional time at the end of the day as England neared victory, and Broad wasted no time in wrapping the match up with his sixth wicket of the session as Anderson caught Peter Siddle.
