After retaining the Ashes, Australia will now look to seal the series as both the teams lock horns once again at the Oval.
Weather and Pitch conditions:
The condition looks pretty good to bat on, a typical Oval pitch with a lot more assistance to the batters than the bowlers. There is no forecast of rains and the weather looks good for a game of cricket.
Probable XI:
England:
England has dropped Overton and will go ahead with Woakes. Roy who had a forgettable tournament will be replaced by the all-rounder Sam Curran. Ben Stokes who is suffering from a shoulder injury will play as a specialist batter.
Joe Root, Joe Denly, Jonny Bairstow, Chris Woakes, Sam Curran, Rory Burns, Ben Stokes, Stuart Broad, Jack Leach, Jofra Archer, Jos Buttler
Australia:
Australia has announced the 12-member team and Mitchell Marsh will replace Travis Head in the team.
Read: Tim Paine is not everybody’s batter
David Warner, Marcus Harris, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Matthew Wade, Mitchell Marsh, Tim Paine (C & WK), Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Nathan Lyon, Peter Siddle
Possibly, Peter Siddle will sit out.
Fantasy 11 Probables: Paine, Bairstow, Smith (c), Denly, Burns, Labuschagne (VC), Stokes, Hazlewood, Starc/Archer, Cummins, Broad
