The tourists started Monday's last day on 135-0, needing just 249 more runs to reach an imposing victory target of 384. But England's Chris Woakes struck twice early on, taking two wickets in seven balls as he removed both David Warner (60) and Khawaja (72) following their impressive opening stand.
