Australia thrashed England inside three days on Sunday to take the fourth Test and level the five-match Ashes series at 1-1, winning by an innings and 80 runs .

An enterprising eighth-wicket partnership of 108 from 79 balls from Graeme Swann (62) and Stuart Broad (61) at Headingley delayed the inevitable defeat and helped England avoid some unwanted records.

When Swann came to the crease at 120-7, England was still 42 runs short of its heaviest Test defeat at home to Australia (innings and 180 runs at Trent Bridge in 1989) and 74 runs from its heaviest Test defeat at Headingley (innings and 148 against Australia in 1993). Johnson took 5-69 from 19.3 overs, ending the match by bowling Graham Onions for a duck about 40 minutes after lunch.
