Australia have won the fourth Ashes Test in Melbourne behind Chris Rogers posting his first century on home soil.
Rogers was caught behind off Monty Panesar's bowling for 116, and Shane Watson chipped in adding an unbeaten 83 not out.
Australia now have the chance to complete the whitewash in Sydney next week.
Starting the fourth day at 30-0, the Australians received help early in the day when England's fielding let the visitors down.
Captain Alastair Cook had two chances at first slip, but failed to hang on.
Rogers was on 19 when he was dropped by Cook, and it was a moment that could have turned the match.
Australia reached 143-1 at lunch and was in the favourite seat for the majority of the day, with England picking up the wicket of Rogers when the victory was in sight for the home side.
