Australia are four wickets away from another comprehensive victory to go three up with two to play.

With Australia ending the third day of the third Ashes Test at Adelaide at 276 for 4 and still ahead of England by 356 runs, the hosts are looking in control against the Ben Stokes led England side.

He secured a fourth century at the Adelaide Oval, equalling David Warner, David Boon and Allan Border's tally at the venue.

Policymakers at the Bank of England are expected to cut interest rates - bringing the Bank rate down to its lowest level since February 2023. Analysts are widely predicting a fall from 4% to 3.75%, although they do not expect a unanimous decision among the nine-member Monetary Policy Committee (MPC).

Interest rates have been cut to 3.75%, the lowest level in almost three years, but further reductions are set to be a "closer call", the Bank of England has said.
