Imran took 16 wickets in seven matches, including a hat-trick, as he spearheaded Peshawar to the title with a win over Karachi in Tuesday’s final.

Hales made his name as a dynamic ball-striker in white-ball cricket but has been selected to tour the Emirates despite a lean Royal London series against Australia.

Peter Siddle made the breakthrough when he trapped Mark Wood lbw for six before Jos Buttler chipped Mitchell Marsh to mid-off for 42.

The pair put on 42 which is mammoth in comparison to other efforts, before Johnson top-edged Finn to Stokes to give the Middlesex paceman his fifth five-wicket haul of his career.

An England win inside two days looked possible at one stage, but they will have to return today to finish the job.

“There’s going to be some tough times but the talent we have in the Australian sporting community is like no other”.

Finn eventually made the breakthrough when Nevill was caught down the leg side, the paceman taking a test best 6-79 after a two-year absence from the side.

Mitchell Starc was out for 11, making it 119-9, falling in Broad’s wicket maiden.

Ben Stokes’s five-wicket haul left England on the verge of an Ashes-clinching win after the second day of the fourth Test at Trent Bridge on Friday (August 7).

Chris Rogers was eight not out and David Warner one not out.

The left-armer’s full-length swing was far too good for nightwatchman Wood, yorked after a clutch of early boundaries off Johnson, and Jos Buttler, whose mediocre series with the bat continued when he was bowled off-stump, driving.

Here’s a recap of Anderson’s wickets.

“It’s been a mad Test match but an enjoyable one”.

England spearhead James Anderson has been ruled out of the fourth Ashes Test, and will miss the remainder of the Edgbaston Test with a side strain.

Finn, who wasn’t a regular choice for the Ashes 2015 and came as a substitute in the playing XI for injured Mark Wood, has shown that his hard work has brought him back to the ideal line and length that helped him in becoming the youngest English player to bag 50 Test wickets.
