Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow combined for a sublime century partnership as England took a giant stride towards levelling the Ashes in the fifth Test at The Oval on Saturday. England, in a match they must win to square the series at 2-2, were 389-9 in their second innings at stumps on the third day -- a commanding lead of 377 runs. Root (91) and Bairstow (78) were both in superb touch during a fifth-wicket stand of 110, with the only sadness for a capacity home crowd the fact that neither Yorkshireman was able to complete an individual hundred.

Australian batters Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschange entered record books for the slow pace of their batting during the fifth and final Ashes Test against England at The Oval. They batted at a run rate that created a new Ashes record. Khawaja and Marnus batted really slow in Australia's first innings, stitching 42-run stand for the second wicket in 26 overs. This was largely due to Labuschagne's slow knock of nine runs in 82 balls. By the time Labuschagne was dismissed, Khawaja had played 123 balls and was unbeaten on 37.
LONDON: England's Harry Brook missed out on a maiden test century against Australia as the visitors edged an absorbing opening day of the fifth and final Ashes test at the Oval on Thursday (Jul 27).
ENG vs AUS, 5th Ashes Test, Day 1, Live Updates:Australia skipper Pat Cummins won the toss and opted to bowl against England in the fifth and final Test of the ongoing Ashes series at The Oval. After the fourth Test ended in a draw due to rain, Australia retained the Ashes series with a 2-1 lead. Nevertheless, a win for England at The Oval would deny Australia their first away Ashes series victory since 2001. It will be interesting to see whether the Ben Stokes-led side will prevail over Pat Cummins and his men. (Live Scorecard)
