*Official* Fifth Test (The Oval, London) 27-31 July

Fair enough team for England they didn’t need to change it. Jimmy wasn’t great last test least he was economical though

Was I watching the same Test? I thought Jimmy bowled well. Much better than Broad, who was really poor. And better than Hazlewood or Cummins, come to that.

I'm not really sure his economy put much pressure on the batters, he seemed very unthreatening. I am surprised that Robinson isn't back tbh.

Fun fact with 12 hours to go: England playing Bazball have won only 2 of their last 6 Tests, with one of those wins being against Ireland

Australia on the other hand have only lost 1 of their last 7 tests and return to the Oval where they won the WTC Final at start of this tour. A reminder Smith and Head made centuries in that game

So all signs point to 3-1

At 3.30 pm



England's series run-rate of 4.68 is the highest for any team in a series where at least four matches have been played



❤Stokes needs one catch to 100 in Tests: he would be just the third player to score 6000 runs, take 100 wickets and told 100 catches after Jacques Kallis and Garry Sobers✍



Entering what is likely to be his final Ashes encounter, Anderson has not won an Ashes Test since 2015.



With Stuart Broad again playing all five Tests in the series, it means he has not missed a home Ashes match since he first played in 2009.

As expected, looks like Murphy in for Green only change. Cummins said Starc and Marsh declared fully fit and Carey and Murphy practicing together yesterday. Cummins also confirmed Neser won't play (so Abbott definitely won't)

To all the people saying OT rain ruined the series, I'm more excited about this test than any of the previous bar the 1st. 4.5 hours to go before Cummins loses his 5th toss (used to it now) 😀
