The final day of the first Ashes Test dawns with Australia needing 174 runs and England seven wickets for a crucial victory and 1-0 lead in the series. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 8pm (AEST).

Resuming at 3/107 after a promising start to their run chase was derailed by the loss of David Warner, Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith in quick succession, Australia’s hopes once again rest on the shoulders of Usman Khawaja.

The opener is unbeaten on 34 with nightwatchman Scott Boland for company and a strong middle order still to come, but it is the first-innings centurion who will be the prized scalp for Stuart Broad, James Anderson and co.

Who will win… and who will head to Lord’s needing to find a way back into the series?

I'd say the 2019 series and this one ..is it the ashes in. england that just presents knife edge contests ?

Their best film by far - Alan Rickman was one of the best baddies ever - a baddie with a dry sense of humour

Sure they'll think about the declaration and whether or not to do it again, but it's worked so many time for them in the past. Regret it though? I think they'll be more concerned about dropped catches and misfields.

You’re more committed than he Nudge. I woke up, checked the score and watched the highlights. I did have a peep at the score during the night but knew if I put it on I wouldn’t be able to sleep.

I hope it doesn’t dent their confidence in “bazball”. Was enthralling watching stokes field placements and the way they took the game on. This could be one of the best series ever if this is what we keep getting. Although a better wicket would be nice.

The English press will report that Australia cheated by playing defensive shots.

Sportsmanship? You make it sound like it was a tour match and England were 3/400 and declared just to make it a contest.

I havent given a crap about cicket since the sandpaper debacle. This test was absolutely rivetting. Top job Australia, a wll deserved win. ,"Bazzvall" ??? aside, various players from both teams, at different times showed that a bit of short-game theory, or shuttee eyes and hittee hard can turn the best laid plans on their head. And Uzzi's efforts on all 5 days were just remarkable. MOM well earned. What's next?. Because its not sleep.

its going to be the same as when aus lost at the gabba , india lost the wtc finals , sports coverage is almost equally bad across the map ,, way too jingoistic in a win and way too critical in a loss ,,
