England are searching for a draw as The Ashes 2023 draws to a close at The Oval this week.

Australia were saved by the rain in Manchester to retain the urn, but an English victory to wrap up the series would see the result go down as honours even.

The fifth Test is likely to be a tasty affair as England aim to draw level and deny Australia an outright victory, a result that would serve to heighten the infamy of the fourth Test at Old Trafford.

The Ashes has spanned most of the summer with the series set to draw to a close on the 31st July – if the final Test at The Oval goes the distance.

Fans will be determined to make the most of The Ashes as the action concludes, with those of an English persuasion hopeful of sending the Aussies on their way without the fanfare of winning the series.
