England's Harry Brook fell short of a maiden Test century against Australia as the tourists had the better of the opening day of the fifth and final Ashes clash at The Oval on Thursday. Brook's 85 was the centrepiece of England's 283 all out, although he should have been dismissed for five on a day where Australia, unusually, dropped five catches. But Australia, after captain Pat Cummins won his first toss of the series and sent England into bat in overcast, bowler-friendly, conditions, then lost just one wicket under the floodlights to be 61-1 at the close -- a deficit of 222. Usman Khawaja was 26 not out and Marnus Labuschagne, fresh from his hundred in last week's rain-marred drawn third Test at Old Trafford, unbeaten on two.
