Twitter Reactions: Australia look set to lose the Ashes and the Urn: The 4^th Ashes Test at Trent Bridge started with England in lead of the Ashes 2015, but who knew an hour into the game, they might look set to regain the Urn. Alastair Cook won the toss and put Clark & Co. to bat first in conditions that promised to help the pacers.

Since England was taking field without the services of their most successful bowler and the swing master James Anderson, David Warner and Chris Roggers must not have been as nervous. And for all those who trolled Stuart Broad, when he claimed he would lead England bowling attack in Jimmy absence, he ran in and ran through the Aussie top order in a matter of 5 overs.

On the first ball of the 6^th over Australia had lost 6 wickets and the scoreboard read 29. Looks unreal? Yes it is! no Aussie batsman seemed to know what they were out to do. The runs column for each of their top 4 read 0,0,6,0. Clarke touched double figures after passing through the nervous 9’s and was fished for 10.

Twitter took turns at trolling the Aussie batsmen for the dismal manner in which they played; the pitch certainly seemed to have evoked some ghosts scarring the Kangaroos off it; no pure batsman in the lineup could bat longer than 15 balls. As the visitors are all down for 60 in 19.1 overs. Stuart Broad walks back with his best bowling figures in Test cricket 8-15 in just 9.3 overs, while Wood and Finn shared a wicket a piece.

Here are the Twitter Reactions: Australia look set to lose the Ashes and the Urn:

Where you were when Australia lost 6 wickets in 7 overs? Come on, let's hear you

The first time England have dismissed both Australian openers for a duck since Brisbane, Dec 1950.

Aus scorecard reads 0 0 6 0. That's the internat dialling code for Malaysia, so if rest of your number is 10 1 0* 0*, get ready for a call

Stuart Broad's 5 wkts in 19 balls equals the Test record of Ernie Toshack (v Ind at Brisbane in 1947) for the quickest to 5 wkt haul#Ashes

Watson couldn't have been worse than this lot. #ashes

For those that thought Australia should drop Voges, he scored more than Rogers, Warner and Marsh combined. #impressivestat

Guess we'll never know how good Stuart Broad will be in his second spell#Ashes2015
— Gaurav Sethi (@BoredCricket) August 6, 2015

Broad has equaled the record for the quickest 5-fer (19 balls) in Tests, equaling Ernie Toshack's effort against India in 1947 #Ashes

19.1 – the least a team took to get all out. England v West Indies

Broad 9.3: 8/15. The 13th player to have achieved the double of 2000 runs and 300 wickets in Test Cricket. #Ashes2015 pic.twitter.com/ndhn4uDjeI
