Ashes 2023: England Are Still Slight Favourites As Day-five Oval Pitch Does Turn, Says Nasser Hussain

By IANS News July 31, 2023 • 14:12 PM View: 1058

Former England captain Nasser Hussain has stated that the hosts are "slight favourites" to win the fifth and decisive Ashes 2023 Test against Australia as the pitch will offer a turn on Day 5 at The Oval which will aid Ben Stokes' side to level the series 2-2.

The lashing rain in London on Sunday forced the umpires to call stumps early on Day 4, with Australia closing the day four on 135 for no loss, still 249 runs away from taking the Ashes 3-1 and England needing 10 wickets to level the series.
