Australia is on top on day five, with Scott Boland taking two major wickets in the opening hour at The Oval. Follow all the action from the final day in our live blog.
This is an audition of sorts for Mitchell Starc, because someone has to miss out on that first Ashes team. He hasn't been at his best, but has the chance here to stake his claim.! That won't help his case. A half-volley on off stump is punched down the ground for four by Rahane.
The rest of the over is much better though, the length pulled back ever so slightly. Just the boundary from it.Rahane on strike, driving to mid off for no run.Good short ball to finish for Green, but Bharat sways out of the way smartly. One from the over.He's around the wicket to Bharat, and well down the leg side to start.! That's delightful from Rahane. Stand and deliver drive, straight back past Starc for four. Gorgeous shot.
Too straight from Starc from the angle around the wicket, another easy single to the leg side for Rahane.By Dean Bilton! That has exploded off a length, flying past Bharat's outside edge. Green is finding a bit in this wicket. Short leg could be in the game. I don't think there was any bat on that one, but Head moved quickly and nearly hung onto it under the lid. Green attacking the stumps and body.! Bharat steps through a wider ball and drives it square of the wicket for four. Nicely played.Over bowled, and that will be drinks. A good hour for Australia in the end, thanks entirely to Scott Boland.So Boland's brilliant spell ends with the two big wickets secured.
