2023 Ashes live score Australia vs. England, fifth test, day two: Day 2 of the continuing fifth Ashes Test match between Australia and England is underway at The Oval in London as of Friday. Australia has reached 115/2 in 51 overs at lunch, trailing England by 168 runs. For the visitors, Usman Khawana (47*) and Steve Smith (13*) are both still undefeated, as Marnus Labuschagne (9) lost his wicket during the opening session. A spectacular Ashes series was destined to come to a fitting end on the first day at the Oval thanks to another fascinating England-Australia match.Even though they didn't win the urn, England will be driven to win in London and even the series. Australia, on the other hand, would want to battle for bragging rights at the venue of their WTC victory, dispelling any allegations that they were fortunate due to the cancelled Manchester Test. The third session of day one saw some rapid runs for England, who finished with a competitive but unflappable 283, thanks to a fluid 85 from Harry Brook and a run-a-ball 36 from Chris Woakes. When Australia came to bat, Woakes also made the lone breakthrough by removing David Warner, but Australia will be satisfied with 61-1 overnight. The visitors will have the opportunity to score many runs in their first innings and take the lead in the game, but England has a history of controlling Australia's batsmen at critical times and will rely on that ability once more.
