Ashes 5th Test preview

England and Australia will conclude a fascinating Ashes series when they go head-to-head for the final time this week. Rain brought a premature end to yesterday's play, with the Aussie openers frustrating the host's attack. The visitors require 249 to win with 10 wickets remaining – can they do it and win the Ashes on English soil for the first time since 2001?

It was a damp ending to the 4th Test last time out at Old Trafford, with rain restricting play on the last two days to just a handful of overs. It had been a rather one-sided contest until the heavens opened, with England notching an impressive 592 after the Aussies had set them a target of 317. The hosts then managed to take five wickets in their quest for the win that would've levelled the series, but the famous British weather had other ideas, with the final day ending in a total washout.

That draw means Australia retain the Ashes and have a chance to win the series outright here at The Oval – something they haven't managed to do in England since 2001. The big question will be whether the hosts can maintain the momentum from their Old Trafford performance, or whether the disappointment of not being able to finish things off and turn this game into a series decider will have affected their mindset. As long as the weather permits, we're all set for another absorbing Test to bring the 2023 Ashes to a close.
