Stokes takes six, Australia out for 326

England's Ben Stokes has taken six wickets to help his side dismiss Australia for 326 on the opening day of the final Test match in Sydney.

The 22-year-old, who is making just his fourth Test appearance, took Australia's final three wickets in the same over to leave his side with the task of trying to remain unbeaten for the final 25 minutes of the day.

The Durham man dismissed Chris Rogers and Michael Clarke during the morning session, before returning to take the vital wicket of an attacking Brad Haddin.

He then brought an abrupt end to Australia's innings by removing Ryan Harris and Peter Siddle in successive balls, before having Steven Smith caught at mid-on.
