KARACHI, Pakistan (TheSportsNEXT) July 31, 2015: A six-wicket haul by fast bowler Steven Finn took England closer to a mighty victory in the third Ashes Test match against Australia at Edgbaston, Birmingham in United Kingdom on Friday.

England bowled Australia out for 265 runs in their second innings but not without a late-order fight posed primarily by Peter Nevill (59), Mitchell Johnson (14), Mitchell Starc (58), Josh Hazlewood (11), and Nathan Lyon (12). The last five Aussie wickets added valuable 173 runs to the total.

England needed 121 runs to win the Edgbaston Test and go 2-1 up in the five-match Ashes 2015 series.

At lunch on day three, England reached 4/0, still 117 runs away from a highly likely triumph.
