India's legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar praised English bowler Stuart Broad after he played his last Test match in international cricket at the Oval on Monday. Broad on Saturday announced that the ongoing fifth Test match of the Ashes series will be the last match of his international cricket career.
England beat Australia by 49 runs to win the fifth Test at The Oval on Monday and end the Ashes series all square at 2-2. Australia, chasing 384 to win, collapsed from 264-3 to 334 all out, with England's retiring paceman Stuart Broad taking the final wicket. England did the bulk of the damage when, after a rain break of more than two hours, they took four Australia wickets for 11 runs in 19 balls. Off-spinner Moeen Ali took three wickets on his way to innings figures of 3-76 and all-rounder Chris Woakes ended with 4-50.
England beat Australia by 49 runs to win the fifth Test at The Oval on Monday and end the Ashes series all square at 2-2. Australia, chasing 384 to win, collapsed from 264-3 to 334 all out, with England's retiring paceman Stuart Broad taking the final two wickets in the form of Todd Murphy and Alex Carey. Australia suffered a dramatic collapse in the last session, reduced to 294-8 as England's Moeen Ali and Chris Woakes ripped through their batting order at The Oval. Rain kept the players off the field for about two hours before Australia, who as the holders have already retained the Ashes at 2-1 up, resumed on 238-3.
Team England needed a crucial wicket on the last day of the last Ashes Test to contain Australia and believed they had Australia's star batter Steve Smith close to lunch on Day 5 but the batter was ruled not out. In the 66th over, Smith was batting on 39 and England captain Ben Stokes appeared to have caught the ball at leg gully as it popped off the batter's glove of Moeen Ali's loopy delivery. Umpire Joel Wilson said it was not out and Stokes went for review.
Ben Stokes gave Australia's Steve Smith a potentially match-changing reprieve after early wickets revived England's hopes of a series-levelling win on the last day of the final Ashes Test at The Oval on Monday. Australia were 238-3 at lunch, needing 146 more runs to reach a mammoth target of 384 runs, with rain threatening to intervene. Smith, then on 39, gloved off-spinner Moeen Ali onto his thigh in the last over before lunch. The ball looped to England captain Stokes at leg gully, who grabbed it one-handed above his head. But as his arm came down, his hand clipped his leg and he dropped the ball. Star batsman Smith was initially given not out and an England review confirmed Stokes's error.
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.
ENG vs AUS, 5th Ashes Test, Day 5, Live Updates:Australia will resume the final day of the fifth Ashes Test against England from 135/0, in the chase of 384 runs at The Oval. Openers David Warner and Usman Khawaja will resume at their overnight scores of 58 and 69, respectively as Australia need 249 runs more to win on Monday. Earlier, England could only add six runs from their overnight score of 389/9 as they were bowled out for 395 in their second innings at The Oval. (Live Scorecard)
Stuart Broad -- one of the greatest England pacers ever -- is set to retire with the conclusion of the fifth and final Ashes Test against Australia. The right-arm pacer has over 840 international wickets to his name. He last played a white-ball match for England in 2016 but has been a regular in Test cricket. His seriousness about the longest format of the game could be observed from the fact that Broad has over 600 Test wickets to his credit. He is only behind James Anderson on the list of leading England wicket takers in Test cricket.
