The Ashes Fifth Test on Channel 9 – The Urn has been retained but the job is not done, as Australia fight to keep England from salvaging a drawn series when the fifth and final Ashes test is exclusive, live and free, from 7.30pm AEST Thursday on the 9Network and 9Now.
Aiming for a series win for the first time in England since 2001, Australia will look to silence their opposition and their fan base at The Oval in London.
Marnus Labuschagne, who scored a century before rain ended the fourth test, will be looking for big-run support from openers Usman Khawaja and David Warner to put Australia on the path to their third victory of the Ashes series.
Captain Pat Cummins will again lead a bowling attack trying to squash England’s flamboyant and carefree “Bazball” batting style that triumphed in the third test.
Nine’s commentary team is hosted by Roz Kelly, with expert comments from former Australian captain Mark Taylor, Ashes winner Ian Healy and former international Callum Ferguson. Taylor will be joined on the ground by Louise Ransome, with 9News reporter Sam Djodan filing from London.
