Ashes 2023 Live score England vs Australia 5th Test Day 2: Australia have reached 115/2 in 51 overs at Lunch, trailing by 168 runs vs England, on Day 2 of their ongoing fifth Ashes Test match, at The Oval in London, on Friday. Usman Khawana (47*) ad Steve Smith (13*) are currently unbeaten for the visitors, and Marnus Labuschagne (9) lost his wicket in the first session. The first day at the Oval promised to set up another enthralling encounter between England and Australia, a fitting conclusion to a thrilling Ashes series. England will be desperate to earn a win in London, and draw the series despite having lost out on the urn. Australia, meanwhile, will want to play for bragging rights at the location of their WTC crowning, squashing any claims that they got fortunate because of the rained-out Manchester Test. England saw some quick runs in the third session of day 1 to finish on a competitive but undaunting 283, on the back of a fluent Harry Brook 85 and Chris Woakes’ run-a-ball 36. Woakes also provided the solitary breakthrough when Australia entered to bat, dismissing David Warner, but Australia will be happy on 61-1 overnight. The visitors will have the chance to score big runs in their first innings and put themselves ahead in the match, but England have shown an ability to reign in Australia’s batters in crucial moment, and will rely on it once again.

"He is just out of nick. Players are not machines. You highlight it because he is 41 on Sunday but he was the No 1 bowler in the world four months ago. He is just having a poor summer.
"It was highlighted today because Broad was swinging the ball and he wasn't moving it. He is a great cricketer because he has overcome spells like this one. Can he do it again at the age of 41?"
