KEVIN Pietersen threw away any chance of leading a miracle Ashes turnaround after falling victim to Nathan Lyon late on day four of the third Test in Perth.
Pietersen looked set to produce his best knock of the series as England went about chasing a mammoth 504, but holed out to Ryan Harris at long-on for 45 as the tourists plunged to 4-143 at drinks in the final session.
Ian Bell (15no) and Ben Stokes (17no) remain at the crease as England tries to extend the Test into a fifth day, but it now seems inevitable that Australia will regain the urn.

Earlier, Australia's two top performers of the series so far combined to remove Joe Root shortly before tea, with Brad Haddin taking a stunning diving catch to his right after Mitchell Johnson found the edge.
But it was Shane Watson who was undoubtedly the star of the first two sessions on day four, blazing a quick-fire century and then striking with the ball.
Watson trapped Michael Carberry in front to snare an important breakthrough after the opener had combined with Root for a 62-run stand.
England skipper Alastair Cook was not able to provide any sort of resistance at the top of the order in his side's pursuit of a mammoth 504 after being bowled with the first delivery of the innings.
In his 100th Test, Cook was bested by a superb delivery from Harris that came off the seam to clip the top of the off bail.
Cook's brief stay was in direct contrast to Watson's innings earlier in the day, where he blasted five sixes to lift the Aussies to 6-369 before the declaration came.
