England fans arrive at the Waca for the fourth day's play more in hope than expectation with their side staring down the barrel of a heavy defeat
Australia make the breakthrough after 15 minutes of play as Ryan Harris shoots a delivery through the defences of nightwatchman James Anderson to leave England reeling on 94-6
In-form batsman Ian Bell soon follows as he is trapped leg before wicket by Harris. With England's last recognised batsman gone, Australia are on the brink of a series-levelling victory
Graeme Swann is the penultimate wicket to fall as any hope of an unlikely chase for England's hypothetical target of 391 is extinguished
Harris, in only his fourth Test, bowls with pace and aggression, picking up four of the five wickets to fall on Sunday to finish with Test-best figures of 6-47
The wives and girlfriends of the England players are all present and correct at the Waca, but they are not in their seats for long as England are blown away in 50 minutes on the fourth morning
Harris leads Australia off, but Mitchell Johnson - who also took nine wickets in the match, and hit a swashbuckling 62 on the first afternoon - is named as man of the match
Australia captain Ricky Ponting did not take the field on the final morning after fracturing a finger, but is confident of being fit for the Boxing Day Test at Melbourne
