The Ashes might be retained, but Australia will still be out for a strong showing in the final Test against England as the sides head back to London for the final match.
Set to be played at one of the most famous grounds in cricket, The Oval, the first ball will be bowled at 8pm (AEST) on Thursday, September 12, with the toss to be held half an hour earlier, pending on the weather.
The match is scheduled to run for a maximum of five days, meaning the final day of the 2018-19 Ashes series will be Monday, September 16. The expected finish time on each day is around 3am (AEST).
Australia came away with a thrilling victory in the fourth Test to ensure they couldn’t lose the urn, but England could still tie the series here, with the Aussies coming in up two games to one.
A draw or victory for the hosts will ensure an outright victory in the series.
