Australia declared on 649 for seven after lunch on the fourth day of the fifth and final Ashes test on Sunday, a first innings lead of 303 over England's 346. Usman Khawaja and the Marsh brothers Shaun and Mitchell all scored centuries for Australia, who already have an unassailable 3-0 lead in the series. Brothers Shaun and Mitchell Marsh both scored centuries on a scorching fourth morning of the fifth Ashes test on Sunday as Australia took complete control of the match. The 26-year-old all-rounder only lasted one more ball but was still beaming from ear to ear as he departed having secured his second test century less than a month after his first at the WACA. England took the third new ball and James Anderson (1-56) got some movement but the best chance of removing Shaun Marsh off an outside edge whistled between captain Joe Root and former captain Alastair Cook in the slips.
