England have been set a target of 121 to win the third Ashes Test against Australia at Edgbaston.
The tourists, who started the day on 168-7, were bowled out for 265 during the morning session before the hosts reached 4-0 at lunch.
With Australia looking to build a competitive lead, Peter Nevill's resistance at the crease was ended early on when he was caught by Jos Buttler off the bowling of Steven Finn for 59.
Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc both dug their heels in as they tried to boost Australia's advantage, but they were eventually dismissed for 11 and 58 respectively as England cleared up the Aussie tail.
Starc was the first to go when he was sent back to the pavilion by Moeen Ali, while Hazlewood followed seven overs later as Ben Stokes struck.
Alastair Cook and Adam Lyth then negotiated two overs before the break to keep England in a commanding position.
