Andrew Strauss' Test best-score against Australia of 57 not out helped England consolidate their advantage in the third Ashes Test at Old Trafford here Sunday.
At tea, on the fourth day, England, in their second innings, were 128 for two, a lead of 170. Ian Bell was unbeaten on eight.
No side had ever made more to win in the fourth innings of an Old
Trafford Test than the 231 for three England achieved against West Indies last year.
Strauss, who completed his fifty in the last over before tea when he swept Shane Warne for four, had faced 93 balls with one six and six fours.
Earlier Sunday, England bowled out Australia for 302, a first innings lead of 142.
Glamorgan quick Simon Jones took Test-best figures of six for 53 as Warne fell 10 runs short of a maiden Test hundred.
England, looking to build on their two-run win at Edgbaston, the
closest victory in Ashes history which levelled the five-match series at 1-1, started the second session on 26 without loss.
Marcus Trescothick was 12 not out and fellow left-hander Strauss 10 not out.
Boundaries then came quickly from both batsmen. Trescothick punched fast bowler Brett Lee through the offside for four and then pulled him through square leg.
Strauss, batting with a bandaged left ear after being hit on the head for the second time in the match by Lee, before lunch, cut Australia's quickest bowler for four while Trescothick clipped Glenn McGrath through mid-wicket.
But Australia had a break when Trescothick played-on to McGrath for 41.
England captain Michael Vaughan, who made 166 in his side's first innings 444, came to the crease with his side 64 for one in the 16th over.
Warne almost had him out for seven when Vaughan's chipped drive just fell short of substitute Brad Hodge, on for Michael Clarke who was still receiving treatment for the back injury that had kept him off the field since the second over of the game, at mid-off.
Australia, who'd dropped four catches in England's first innings, saw the shoddy fielding that had been a feature of their performance this Test continue when out-of-form paceman Jason Gillespie gave away four off a Vaughan edge to third man when the ball went through his hands.
But Hodge, running round at fine leg, took a well-judged catch following a scooped hook off Lee to get rid of Vaughan for 14.
Strauss, who before lunch on one saw an edge off Lee go between motionless slips Warne and Australia captain Ricky Ponting, countered by pulling the paceman for six.
Following a rain-marred third day, Warne resumed on 78 not out and Gillespie seven not out.
But leg-spinner Warne, who on Thursday became the first bowler to take 600 Test wickets, had twice been given reprieves on 55 and 68 by wicketkeeper Geraint Jones, who missed a stumping and dropped a routine catch.
Warne's luck though ran out on 90 when, having cut Jones's first ball

Sunday for four, he hooked his second straight to Ashley Giles at deep square leg having faced 122 balls with one six and 11 fours.
It was a desperate way for the 35-year-old, who'd made 99 against New Zealand at Perth in 2001-02, to exit after putting on 86 with Gillespie for the eighth wicket.
New batsman Lee, whose 43 not out almost saw Australia home at Edgbaston, managed just one before he edged reverse-swing specialist Jones to first slip Trescothick, who took a fine twohanded catch diving to his left.
Jones, the son of former England left-arm quick Jeff, ended the innings in Sunday's 15th over when Gillespie was lbw for 26.
