James Anderson claims a five-for as England dismantle the Australian batting unit during the afternoon session on day one of the third Ashes Test at Edgbaston.

James Anderson recorded the 18th five-for of his Test career as England bowled out Australia inside 37 overs on day one of the third Ashes Test at Edgbaston this afternoon.

The morning session had belonged to the recalled Steven Finn, who claimed two Australian wickets as the tourists were reduced to 72-3 at lunch.

After the resumption it was all about Anderson, who struck in the second over when a misjudged leave from Adam Voges saw the ball strike the face of his bat, which left Jos Buttler behind the stumps with a routine catch.

That brought Mitchell Marsh to the crease, but the all-rounder lasted just three deliveries as he too fell to the combination of Anderson and Buttler.

The next wicket - Anderson's fourth of the day - came with Australia on just 86. Peter Nevill, who had been selected to keep wicket ahead of the experienced Brad Haddin, appeared to be expecting an outswinging delivery, but the ball kept straight and cleared out his stumps.

Wickets then continued to tumble as Mitchell Johnson played a loose drive from a tempting Anderson delivery straight into the hands of Ben Stokes with just three runs to his name, before opener Chris Rogers's resistance was broken on 52 when he was trapped lbw by Stuart Broad.

Having claimed his wicket of the innings, a second quickly followed for Nottinghamshire bowler Broad. Mitchell Starc had contributed 11 runs when he feathered one through for Buttler to grasp.

The final say would go to Anderson, though, who finished off the Aussies when he claimed his sixth wicket courtesy of Nathan Lyon, who played onto his own stumps, meaning that the tourists had been bowled all out for 136. As for Anderson, his figures of 6-47 are the best that he has recorded in any Ashes Test.
