Australia are set to retain the Ashes going into the final day of the fourth Test in Manchester.

They reduced the hosts to 18 for 2 at the end of day three after setting them an improbable target of 383 to win.

Pat Cummins picked up two wickets in two balls for Australia to take out England's top order.

Play from Old Trafford gets underway at 2:00 pm UAE time.
