Usman Khawaja is 20 not out and Marnus Labuschagne is on 7 at Headingley.
The one-sided nature of the Broad vs. Warner duel continued as the Australia opener was out for 1 run after he squared up and edged to Zak Crawley in the slips — a mirror image of his first-innings dismissal.
It was the 17th time that Warner was dismissed by Broad and it left Australia on 11-1.
England earlier limited the deficit damage as captain Ben Stokes and even pacer Mark Wood went on the attack in its first innings to eventually concede only a 26-run advantage to Australia.
The host was all out for 237 in reply to Australia’s 263. Australia captain Pat Cummins took 6-91 in 18 overs and celebrated his first five-wicket Test haul in England.
England started after lunch on 147-2, still 121 runs behind. That deficit was quickly reduced as Stokes advanced in the afternoon session from 27 not out to a team-best 80, which included five sixes and six fours. He was caught by Steve Smith off Todd Murphy as the last man out.
Wood, who took a five-for in his day job, smashed an eight-ball 24 which included three sixes and a four.
Stokes and Ollie Robinson added 38 for the final wicket, with Robinson ending 5 not out.
Key England batter Joe Root was dismissed on the second ball of the day and Jonny Bairstow departed in the opening half-hour as Australia gave the hosts a lesson in slip fielding.
Allrounders Moeen Ali (21) and Chris Woakes (10) were dismissed before lunch with Ali’s attempted pull shot costing him his wicket.
Stokes shared a partnership of 44 with Ali for the sixth wicket.
