Birmingham: Mitchell Johnson heads into this week's Ashes clash against England at Edgbaston needing just one more wicket to become only the fifth Australia bowler to take 300 in Tests.

The left-arm fast bowler's 68-Test career has not been one of uninterrupted progress, with Johnson mocked mercilessly by visiting fans when he lost control of both line and length during England's 2010/11 Ashes series win in Australia. But it was a very different story in 2013/14 when he took 37 wickets at under 14 apiece as Australia regained the Ashes with a 5-0 rout of their arch-rivals.
