Australia looks to seal Ashes turnaround

Australia looks poised to seal one of the great turnarounds in Ashes history when it takes on reeling England in Perth from Friday after bulldozing its way to a 2-0 lead.

The Aussies went into the Test series just months after a 3-0 loss in England but the incredible revival of fast bowler Mitchell Johnson triggered big wins in Brisbane and Adelaide.

The home side can take an unbeatable 3-0 lead in the five-match series on the famously fast pitch at the WACA - Johnson's home ground - while shell-shocked England, winner of the past three series, is desperately searching for answers.
