MARKET MOVES
Australia are 1/100 with Ladbrokes to whitewash England 5-0 after taking charge of the fifth and final Test in Sydney.
Shane Warne, playing in his farewell Test, starred with the bat this time as he clubbed 71 off just 65 balls to help the hosts make 393 and take a first innings lead of 102.
And the leg-spinner later had England skipper Andrew Flintoff stumped as the Aussies reduced the tourists to 114-5 at the close of the third day.
It means England start day four in a precarious position - just 12 runs to the good with only five wickets remaining.
England are 22/1 to pull off an unlikely win and avoid a whitewash while the draw, which doesn't look a factor with the weather forecast looking fine, can be backed at 66/1.
Australia had started day three as 1/3 shots after closing day two on 188-4 in reply to England's 291.
