Stuart Broad got the dream finish he wanted as England signed off a memorable Ashes summer in style, flooring Australia in an intoxicating finale at the Kia Oval to square the series 2-2.
Australia put themselves in a strong position in the 5th and final Test of the Ashes series against England, having not lost a single wicket despite putting 135 runs on the board on Day 4. Needing 249 more runs to win, with all 10 wickets intact, Australia do have a big opportunity to make history by winning the Test. But, England supporters are doing all they can to unnerve Australian batters. A video has emerged from Day 3 of the match where a spectator seemed to have taunted Usman Khawaja, prompting him and Marnus Labuschagne to confront the fan.
England had an upper hand over Australia on Day 2 of the ongoing second Ashes Test at The Oval. The Ben Stoked-led side bundled out the visitors for 295, giving them a lead by 12 runs. It was a dominant show from the entire bowling unit of England as Chris Woakes took three wickets while the likes of Stuart Broad, Joe Root, and Mark Wood took two wickets each. Apart from the controversial run-out survival of Steve Smith, the day also had a hilarious moment, when pacer Broad took the credit for Marnus Labuschagne's dismissal on Mark Wood's delivery.
A mind game from England pacer Stuart Broad took the centre stage during Day 2 play of the fifth and final Ashes Test at Kennington Oval in London. During the batting of Marnus Labuschagne, Broad interchanged the positions of the bails and the batter was dismissed on the very next ball. Mark Wood bowled a dot ball to Labuschagne on the fourth delivery of the 43rd over before Broad performed his antics. On the fifth ball of the over, the Australian batter got an outside edge and Joe Root took a stunning catch at first slip to end his innings.

Joe Root held a brilliant slip catch to dismiss Marnus Labuschagne as Australia ground their way to 115-2 at lunch on the second day of the fifth and final Ashes Test at The Oval on Friday. Labuschagne was the only man out in an attritional morning session that ended with Australia still 168 runs behind England's first-innings total of 283. Opener Usman Khawaja dropped anchor to be 47 not out off 152 balls, with star batsman Steve Smith, adding some impetus, unbeaten on 13. Australia, as the holders, are already assured of retaining the Ashes at 2-1 up, and only need to avoid defeat at The Oval to secure their first Test series win away to England in 22 years.
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.
Jonny Bairstow's controversial dismissal hogged all the limelights in the second Ashes Test against Australia at Lord's last month. After ducking a bouncer from Cameron Green, Bairstow ventured out of the crease thinking that the ball was already 'dead'. However, Carey played within the rules and underarmed the ball onto the stumps and third umpire Marais Erasmus ruled the decision in favour of Australia. The incident led to immense criticism of the Australian team and sparked the "spirit of cricket" debate.
