England are in the driving seat at Edgbaston after Jimmy Anderson skittles Australia for 136 and bounce back from Lords humiliation. Anderson’s fast-medium swing bowling was unplayable as he took 6 for 47 his best figures in an Ashes Test, despite Chris Rogers defiant half century. Both Stuart Broad and Steve Finn claimed two each. At close England were 133 for 3 with Joe Root 30 not out including four fours and a six.
