Stuart Broad, another Englishman under scrutiny after playing a negligible part in the series, captured four for 51 as Australia's Day I resistance melted in the morning heat. The hosts started the day in a position of strength at 244 for three but were bowled out for 327, losing their last seven wickets for 67 runs. "Bowling Australia out for 320-odd, we're absolutely delighted," Broad told reporters. "We're in a good position in this Test match. Former England captain Michael Vaughan was among them and said Broad should have been dropped for Melbourne after he went wicketless for 142 runs in Perth, his worst ever Test figures.
