Ashes Highlights - Fifth Test, Day Five

Monday 26 August 2013

Watch highlights of a highly dramatic fifth and final day's play of the final Ashes Test at The Oval which ended in a draw as England claimed the series 3-0.

England hit quick runs after avoiding the follow-on and were bowled out for 377. Australia also looked to score quickly in their second innings in a bid to set up a game, declaring on 111 for six.

After tea, the crowd were treated to a compelling session as England, through Alastair Cook, Jonathan Trott and Kevin Pietersen pushed hard to reach their victory target only for bad light to bring the game to a premature end with four overs remaining.

It meant that England won the series without dropping a match and Australia are still to win a Test since January.

The playlist above also includes interviews with victorious captain Cook and England coach Andy Flower.
