(Reuters) - Nathan Lyon captured a long-awaited 400th test victim and spun Australia to an emphatic nine-wicket victory in the first Ashes test on Saturday, with England losing eight wickets in a stunning morning collapse on day four at the Gabba.

The spin-bowling cult hero grabbed four wickets as England's batsmen crumbled by lunch, leaving 20 runs for Australia to mow down after the break.
