Dream11 Team ENG vs AUS, 5th Test, Ashes 2023: Captain, Vice-captain, Probable XIs for England vs Australia at The Oval

Australia and England are going to clash in the final Ashes Test at the Oval in London from July 27. The Aussies currently lead 2-1.

Despite a dominant showing from the hosts in the fourth Test at Old Trafford, the match ended in a draw thanks in part to rain.

England will be itching for a victory on home soil after having the previous fixture ruined because of rain.

Australia won the opening Test match at Edgbaston by two wickets. Their second win was another hard-fought thriller that saw them emerge victorious again by a mere 43 runs.

England bounced back in the third Test by picking up a three-wicket over the visitors. Mark Wood had an incredible outing with the ball, claiming seven wickets across the two innings of the match.

Chris Woakes’ five-wicket haul helped curb the Australian side to a score of 317 runs during their first batting innings of the fourth Test. The hosts responded with a massive 592-run total thanks to a brilliant innings from Zak Crawley that saw him score 189 runs in only 182 balls. He hit an impressive 21 fours and four sixes.

In the 2nd batting innings for Australia, England managed to pick five Australian scalps to edge ahead before rain interruption.

Heading into the final Test it’s difficult to choose a clear favourite. The Aussies were looking much brighter initially in the series but then suffered a defeat in the third Test. The rain came to the rescue for them in the fourth Test as they looked in trouble.
