England is struggling at the oval Test, having lost 8 wickets before reaching 300 runs. They are finding it tough to handle the fast bowlers from Australia, which makes it difficult for them to score enough runs. Summing up their current performance, it's unlikely England will be able to achieve a 2-2 score-line in the fifth Test match. I believe Australia will take the Ashes.
AUS have already retained The Ashes due to the bad weather in the 4th test. The series can now only end up 2-2 and that’s if ENG win this final test. It’s a shame it had to end like that but the holder of The Ashes retains them if the series is a draw.

ENG 283 all out, you are right in saying AUS are in the ascendency here. ENG may have had momentum if they had rightfully won the 4th test. As it is, this 5th test is for nothing other than pride for ENG as The Ashes are gone for them.

England showed great dominance in the fourth Test. But they failed to win the match due to rain. England's batsmen were not able to bat well in the fifth and final Test match. England's innings ended with just 283 runs. The team should have collected at least more than 350 in the first innings.

Australia's two openers started their innings well. Australia collected 44 runs without losing any wicket. Usman Khawaja remained unbeaten on 17 and Dawid Warner on 23. If Australia's top order plays well, the team will collect big. Even in the first innings, Australia has the possibility of taking a lead of 150-200 runs.

Australia is currently bowling and England is actually doing well so far. They have scored 41 in 8 overs. That is a good confident start from England after losing the toss. Let’s see if England can actually win this test match. I personally think that Australia might actually take this test match as well and win the ashes series.

Can England win this test at the Oval and save the Ashes? Of course, they can't win the Ashes, but leveling the series 2-2 is their ultimate target before going into this test match. We also know that England was unlucky in the last test match as the rain ruin their chances of winning the match.

However, England needs to win this one. They are batting at 138-3, which is good for them but they can't lose quick wickets today else the Australians will feel themselves on the upper hand. Ben Duckett was scoring run a ball and was looking good but he got out at 41. Zak Crawley also made only 22 and Joe Root 5 runs only. I see a collapse soon  Shocked


English batting now with good partnership from Moeen Ali 10 runs and Harry Brook 48 runs before the lunch.The England had scored of 131/3 in 26 overs before a lunch.After the three big wickets,Zak,Ben was removed by Cummins.The bowling of the Cummins was very good and Ben Duckett was scored 41 runs.But Cummins had stopped him from scoring his fifty against Australia,but Brook had started his game followed by the game of Duckett.England had huge pressure to win this match to save the ashes from Australia.Many expected the century from the Ben Duckett,but due to his bad luck he had failed the century.The England should score minimum of 600 runs in this first half batting.So then Moeen Ali will take care of Australian run scoring.

At this moment you can't predict anything with this English team.

One might look at the scorecard and say they are 7 down, tail is exposed and not enough runs on the board but at the same time, this team is becoming unpredictable. I won't be surprised if they even touch the 300 mark or surpass it.

Many congratulations to Pakistan for a huge win over Sri Lanka by an innings and 222 runs in the second Test.
Yeh Pakistan has done amazing performance and after a long time they got successful to win a test series, from current performance of Pakistan we can predict that soon in year Pakistan will be in top 5 team in test format standing but the things is if they stick with thier technique and performance.
While on the other side sirilankan team show some bad performance ever throughout the season, they should work hard on thier technique in order to put his team on track.
Many many congratulations to Pakistan Bowler Noman who took seven important wicket and crushed thier hopes while Naseem took last three wickets and got the game by 200+ runs and an innings...

I agree that the win for the Pakistan team was a good and convincing one but we should not forget that it was against a small team Srilanka. I call them a small team because their recent performances are not so good. So considering this, one should not make up the mind that the Pakistan team is a champion of test matches or something similar.

Still, i am not taking the reward away from the Pakistan team as they played good cricket as a team and won this test match by 222 runs. Srilanka failed to bat in this test match and was out on 166 & 188 respectively in first and second innings.

A huge lead of 392 runs given by Pakistan, where Sri Lanka bats on day 4th. Sri Lanka batting extremely poorly and lost by a huge margin. While Sri Lanka lost their first match and they had the same batting performance in the fourth match as well all the batsmen showed poor performance. Pakistan's bowling performance has been excellent especially Noman Ali taking 7 wickets is really commendable. On the other hand, Naseem Shah is also doing an amazing bowling performance and he has collected 3 wickets which was a huge gain for Pakistan. Sri Lanka was performing so badly that they lost all their wickets for 188 runs and the match was won by Pakistan by a huge margin of 222 runs.

It proves Sri Lanka has much room to improve their performance on both the batting and bowling side. Noman Ali alone destroyed their batting lineup. Noman Ali got seven wickets in the 2nd innings, and Sri Lankan batters were helpless against him. It's good for Pakistan that youngsters like Noman Ali, Shafique, Agha Salman, Abrar Ahmed and Naseem Shah perform for their team.

I don't know many players from Pakistan Except for experienced players like Imam-ul-Haq, Babar Azam, Sarfaraz Ahmed and Rizwan. Overall performance was awesome and they won the series already while the Asia Cup is heading.

Sri Lanka collected 129 runs for the loss of 4 wickets. Nishan Madushka was out for 33, Dimuth Karunaratne was out for 41, Kusal Mendis was out for 14, Dinesh Chandimal was out for 1. Noman Ali bowled brilliantly taking 4 wickets alone. Sri Lanka trail by 281 runs. Looks like Pakistan can win by an innings margin.

6 wickets have gone down for Srilanka and all 6 wickets picked up by Noman Ali. All Eyes on him to pick rest of 4 wickets and become first Pakistani bowler to pick all 10 wickets. Srilanka need 255 more runs to win and they just have 4 wickets left behind. It will be 2-0 win for Pakistan and a test victory after almost a gap of 18 months. Last time Pakistan won a test series was in Bangladesh in November 2021.
Many congratulations to Pakistan for a huge win over Sri Lanka by an innings and 222 runs in the second Test. Sri Lanka could not bat completely for 10 wickets. Sri Lanka could not score 20 wickets in 2 innings as much as Pakistan scored 6 wickets in one innings. Pakistan toured Sri Lanka and whitewashed the Test series by defeating Sri Lanka in two consecutive Test matches. Pakistani players have shown great performance in batting and bowling during Sri Lanka tour. I did not expect such a poor performance from Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka had enough mistakes in their plans and they couldn't stay patient on the wicket which is why they did poorly in this Test. Sri Lanka is not having a good time in cricket at the moment. Sri Lanka should come out of this situation very quickly.

England's Bazball approach is something else. Harry Brook is playing like a monster and transformed this game from a test to a T-20 match. All teams need to adopt his approach asap in tests since it's so damn entertaining.

Also, the golden days of teams like Sri Lanka and West Indies might never return based on their performances in recent years.

If some key players whose performance will prolong their match and fight for victory do not perform well then the match is sure to be lost. Some of the reliable players in the Srilanka team like Karunaratne, Kusal Mendis, Mathews, Chandimal and Dhananjaya de Silva could not play consistently. Some played in the 1st innings and some got few runs in the 2nd innings. The biggest thing is that they could not take all the wickets of Pakistan in the 2nd Test match. Pakistan played brilliantly in the 2nd Test which resulted in them winning the 2nd Test by 222 runs.

The Lankans are done for this series and now it's just a formality for Pakistan, nothing much to look at here except Noman Chacha.

The Aussies already retained the urn but England are a clear favorite to draw the series and have a nice 4-0 morale victory as some are claiming (Pundits and players)  Tongue.

Sri Lanka is definitely going to lose this test match. they have only four wickets in hand. they are still trailing by 238 runs while being in their second innings. And Pakistan still has a whole day and one session to get four wickets. the only positive thing that might actually come out from this test match for Sri Lanka is probably going to be the half-century of Mathews 48(111). This is the highest score so far in this innings from Sri Lanka.

Australia is currently bowling and England is actually doing well so far. They have scored 41 in 8 overs. That is a good confident start from England after losing the toss. Let’s see if England can actually win this test match. I personally think that Australia might actually take this test match as well and win the ashes series.

Actually the balance of Sri Lankan team was completely lost as Sri Lankan spinner department failed completely during Pakistan's innings but Pakistani spinner bowler Noman Ali collected 6 wickets against Pakistan at the same ground. Then Sri Lankan spinner Jayasuriya, Ramesh Mendis could not bring any breakthrough for Sri Lanka but Pakistani spinner Noman Ali did exactly the same and proved that the balance of Sri Lankan team is imbalanced.

Pakistan declared their innings on 576 runs where Pakistan lost five wickets to collect 576 runs. Every Pakistan batsman scored good runs in the second Test against Sri Lanka. After Pakistan declared their innings, Sri Lanka came back to bat again in the second innings where Sri Lanka collected 61 runs for no wicket so far where they are still 349 runs behind Pakistan. If they can muster 349 runs in their second innings, they can save themselves from a humiliating defeat against Pakistan.

Fourth day's play continues today If Pakistani bowlers can pick up five to six wickets today then Pakistan can quickly all out Sri Lanka on day five and win the Test series by an innings.

I am sure Sri Lanka is going to lose by innings. They batted terribly in the first innings. The team collected only 166 runs. Sri Lanka's overall performance was very poor mainly due to the poor batting of the top order.

In the second innings as usual Sri Lanka's top-order players could not perform well. Sri Lanka scored 124 runs. But they have lost 4 top-order batsmen. Angelo Mathews and Dhananjaya are now batting. They are the most experienced batsmen in the Sri Lankan squad. And with the loss of these two wickets, it won't be long before Sri Lanka's innings ends. The Sri Lanka team is still behind by 286 runs.
