Ashes 2019: Australia chasing 399 to beat England, fifth Test day four – live! | Sport

11.35am BST11:35

1st over: Australia 3-0 (Harris 0, Warner 2) Broad to start. Warner has taken the first ball in his last couple of innings, but doesn’t today. Harris though gives him the second ball, running a leg bye off the thigh pad. Warner does not look comfortable immediately. Gets beaten outside off, stabs a couple of runs off his pads, then gets beaten again pushing hard at the ball down the line. That was a beautiful bit of bowling, moving away. He survives the first over, though.

11.32am BST11:32

Adrian Armstrong has been busy.

Ian Forth’s reference to Gang Of Four set me wondering whether the post-punkers’ oeuvre might generate a complete Boycott XI. Here goes:

Natural’s Not In It If I Could Keep It For Myself Outside The Trains Don’t Run On Time He’d Send In The Army It Is Not Enough The World At Fault Better Him Than Me [the run-out modus operandi] Do As I Say England’s In My Bones First World Citizen Stranded [those run-outs again]

11.29am BST11:29

Here’s Boris Starling. “Like all Englishmen of a certain age, my instinctive thought when England are defending a substantial lead in the fourth innings can be summed up in two words (Lord’s, Greenidge) and two numbers (1984, 214*). And no, I can’t shake the sinking feeling that Oval, Smith, 2019 and 200ish* is on the cards (224 to overtake Bradman’s record, if my maths is right).”

You’re spot on, Boz.

11.27am BST11:27

“What do you reckon the chances of Warner having an match defining innings and making double figures today?” asks David Kalucy. Given the way he batted in the first innings, not great. He looked completely frazzled.

11.25am BST11:25

Here’s the TMS overseas link for those who want some audio with the chase as well as my sweet, sweet written words.

11.22am BST11:22

England out for 329, Australia must chase 399 to win

That’s the tally then! A monster for Australia to chase, nearly 400 runs. There have been four winning run chases bigger than this in Test history. So that’s against them, but for them is having Steve Smith and a decent day-four pitch and two days to play. With the time in hand and the good weather, the draw will be impossible. So Australia will bat for a 3-1 lead, and England will bowl to tie the series 2-2 and spoil the party.

11.20am BST11:20

Wicket! Leach c Hazlewood b Lyon 9 (England 329 all out)

Leach couldn’t cope with Broad going past his score, clearly, and wanted to retake the lead. He goes down on one knee and tries to slog-sweep Lyon, but only gets a high top edge that swirls before settling with mid-on.

11.18am BST11:18

95th over: England 329-9 (Leach 9, Broad 12) Cummins to Broad… and he nails him! Broad nails Cummins, I mean! The backaway swat shot connects at the third attempt, and connects well. Broad was waiting for it, camped back like a baseballer, didn’t even think about getting forward. Bat over the shoulder in his backlift, then follows through. Siddle at deep midwicket thinks he’s in the hunt, but it sails over his head for six.

So Cummins bowls short again, and Broad misses. And again, and Broad misses. This is the stupidest bowling I have ever seen. Broad is stepping almost off the cut strip. All Cummins has to do is bowl at the stumps: fast ball, slower ball, whatever. There’s no way Broad is carving the yorker off his middle stump behind point for four.

So what does Cummins do? Bowls short and gets hit for six more. Even straighter over midwicket this time, Siddle running around to no avail. Steve Smith was at long stop for that ball, right behind Tim Paine on the boundary. Then Paine calls Smith up, and Cummins bowls a length ball that goes over middle stump. What.

11.11am BST11:11

94th over: England 317-9 (Leach 9, Broad 0) Leach looks pretty good this morning, dipping his knees and driving to point but not beating the field. He’s not shabby with the blade. Knocks a ball to leg side, then gets a little leading edge behind point, but can’t find a run from the over. Broad will have to face Cummins again.

11.10am BST11:10

93rd over: England 317-9 (Leach 9, Broad 0) Out comes Stuart Broad, who of course made a Test hundred once but rather lost his enthusiasm for batting and is now all the way down at 11. Unsurprisingly he gets three short balls from Cummins, the first of which he blocks, and the latter two he backs away and swipes at and misses. He has his way.

11.07am BST11:07

Wicket! Archer c Paine b Cummins 3 (England 317-9)

Tim Paine gets a review right! Ah, mercy! Ah, blessings! The Oval can do amazing things. The Oval is where Shane Watson overturned an lbw on review in 2013. Now Paine gets one! A glove down the leg side from Archer, just a tiny touch. Umpire says no. Computer says yes. Paine was very confident. That’s the sort of call that a wicketkeeper might know more about than an lbw. Early breakthrough for the Aussies, who will be mighty relieved. Archer doesn’t think he hit it. Like Warner in the first innings, it’s not conclusive on the vision but there’s a tiny spike on the Snickometer.

92nd over: England 317-8 (Archer 3, Leach 9) Hello all, thanks JP. Well, here we are! Glorious sun again, the classic London autumn. Perhaps the last day of this series, though Surrey will be desperately hoping that their sold-out fifth day goes ahead. Jerusalem over the loudspeakers. Erasmus and Dharmasena to the middle. Huge cheers for Jack Leach and Jofra Archer. Nathan Lyon starting with the ball, and Jack Leach carves him through cover for four!

Jonathan Howcroft

Geoff Lemon is whirling his arms over down at fine-leg trying to get my attention so I shall toss him the ball and doff my cap to you all. Hopefully we’ll reconvene tomorrow for something absurd, but if not, thank you for all your contributions throughout the series.

Remember: refresh your pages, redirect your tweets to @GeoffLemonSport and send your emails to [email protected].

10.53am BST10:53

Ok, let’s sharpen the focus with the restart nearing. England win, right? WinViz reckon it’s 87% likely. But we all know Steve Smith’s going to do something preposterous don’t we, one final hit. Are we coming back tomorrow? Or is this it? Our summer dalliance fading with the weak autumn sunshine…

10.43am BST10:43

Derek Stocker must be unique, surely, a Zimbabwe supporter in Bulgaria. Anyway, he’s sent an email. “I am a Zim supporter but rooting for England. I hope today is the day the Teddy Bear does not come to the picnic. No doubt about Warner’s talent and, I do have sympathy for him. I just imagine him going really big today. I hope my vision disappears to where it came from.” It would be remarkable for such a talented player not to have at least one knock in a five-Test series, wouldn’t it? Maybe the bit of needle that’s crept into the contest is what he’s needed?

10.39am BST10:39

The music bug is catching. Ian Forth is the latest to join in with a quite excellent summer mixtape.

“1. Australians in Europe by The Fall. By way of an overture. 2. Midnight in a Perfect World by DJ Shadow. For those tuning in down under. 3. Heart Cooks Brain by Modest Mouse. Slightly misguided bumper sticker tribute to the previous England captain’s strategic capabilities. 4. Monty Got A Raw Deal by REM. For those who think there should have been room for Monty and Swanny in the same side. 5. At Home He’s A Tourist by Gang Of Four. For KP. 6. Why Won’t They Talk To Me by Tame Impala. Also for KP. 7. The First Cut Is The Deepest by PP Arnold. For Joe Root. 8. I Just Get Caught Out by The Go Betweens. For every batsman in this series other than Smith. 9. I’m Stranded by The Saints. For Jos Buttler. 10. I Know It’s Over by The Smiths. For all of us, very soon. (Also for grumpy bowlers who’ve just had their appeal turned down off the last ball). 11. Ashes to Ashes by Bowie. Because it’s never really over, is it?”

I’m only linking to The Fall for now, but there are plenty of bangers in that batting order.

Ben Stokes has occupied centre stage for most of this summer but when it was time to take his bow at the Oval it arrived in subdued fashion. Ali Martin has more.

When a drowsy Oval crowd offered Stokes the polite applause that a score of 67 might usually merit, a chance to thank the all-rounder for his efforts during this epic home season felt slightly missed.

Stokes, unable to bowl in this Test and thus with just fielding left on the to-do list, has hit a new level as a batsman this year; the responsibility that some feared may be shackling his game before the World Cup has paid out some serious jackpots since.

10.28am BST10:28

Joe Denly’s runs yesterday were good for Joe Denly, but they were also handy for England selector Ed Smith, as Barney Ronay reports.

Of all the new picks during the last 18 months Denly has perhaps been the most thoroughly Smith-flavoured, albeit not for the reasons some have assumed. One former Kent player laughed out loud at the idea Smith might pick his former teammate out of ties of matey loyalty. The response, in essence: if you think that, you obviously don’t know Ed Smith very well – with the suggestion good old Joe from Canterbury is unlikely to figure too prominently in Smith’s list of vital VIP personages to please at all costs.

10.25am BST10:25

David Gaskell has identified the particular grade of salt to pour onto Australian wounds. “We have not had an imperious innings from Stuart Broad for some time. If memory serves me rightly, he did annoy and frustrate the opposition from time to time. Why not today? A handy thirty or so whilst the Boycott maxi- me that is Jack Leach blocks like a factor 50 on the French Riviera.”

10.24am BST10:24

As Emma John writes, it has been an extraordinary summer of cricket.

But for England fans, the best-case scenario of a two-all draw scarcely seemed a reason to put the Moët on ice, not after a summer that had given us so many champagne moments already. We’d been spoiled for storylines and the realisation that the Ashes weren’t coming home – and England could still finish on the pointy end of a 3-1 scoreline – was as deflating as sitting through seven series of your favourite TV show only to discover that Bran Stark had won the Game of Thrones. (Still not over that, no.)

10.19am BST10:19

Gary Naylor (@garynaylor999)

There’s been a lot of ordinary cricket in this Test – minds are tired – but it’s still a good Test @JPHowcroft. My irrefutable proof is that, on the fourth morning, at 9.30, the touts outside were buying tickets.

September 15, 2019

Ah, the cry of “Any tickets, buy or sell” accompanied by the smell of police horse poo and the sight of a man dribbling meat pie down his front. You can’t beat a major sporting event.

10.13am BST10:13

Kim Thonger, I shall miss your morning emails when this series is over. “If ‘It’s Coming Home’ doesn’t describe England fan feelings this weekend, perhaps this does, Dark Black by Kristina Train. I’ve been saving it for my funeral, but do ‘enjoy’ today as an Ashes farewell…

“I remember colors painted in my eyes Green was for the springtime, blue the summer skies And now the skies have darkened, the white clouds turn to grey What a way to break a heart, you took all the colors away Dark black is the color of my life Since you’ve been gone Since you’ve been gone Oh if you come back Make my whole world bright Since you’ve been gone Dark black is the color of my life”

10.10am BST10:10

Want to know the match situation at the click of a mouse/button/screen/trackpad? Well, fear not, because Vic Marks is all you need.

The lead stands at 382 with two fragile wickets remaining. It should be enough for England – if they can get Smith out.

9.49am BST09:49

Preamble

Jonathan Howcroft

Hello everybody and welcome to live OBO coverage of day four of the fifth Ashes Test from the Oval.

It’s coming home, it’s coming home, it’s coming! What? Speak up a bit. It isn’t!? A shared series means Australia retain the Ashes? Oh well…

The destination of the urn may have already been determined before battle commenced in south London but England turning in their most complete performance of the series so far is a welcome sight nonetheless for the majority of patrons inside a packed Oval. A strong day in the field on Friday was backed up by some refreshingly competent batting on Saturday to guide the hosts into a commanding position. It would take a Stokesian feat of escapology for Australia to wriggle free of their current predicament.

Joe Denly has hogged the morning headlines, and most likely another series at the top of England’s batting order, with his slow-burn series ending in impressive fashion. His obduracy, following on from Sam Curran’s tenacity with the ball, have given England a steelier edge, much to Australia’s dissatisfaction. For the first time during this long old tour of theirs they have looked tetchy, bordering on rattled, and ready for the next Qantas home.

Whether they do so as jubilant series winners or content urn retainers will depend on how they occupy the crease over the next couple of days. We know with Steve Smith anything is possible…

I’m around for the hour leading up to play, after which it’s over to Geoff Lemon. Please keep me company during this prelude, either on Twitter @JPHowcroft or by sending an email to [email protected].
