The Australians were in command as Trott and Cook fell early.
Their fielding backed up their bowling and England seemed to buckle under pressure.
Kevin Pietersen stood like a rock as England looked to avoid the follow-on.
Pietersen's 206-ball 113 gave England some respectability as Australia go for the kill in the last 2 days of the match.
