Starc gives Australia slight advantage

From Morning Report, 8:26 am on 28 July 2023

The final test of the Ashes got underway at the Oval last night.

Australia had earlier won the toss, their first of the series, and elected to bowl, restricting England to 283 with Australian quick Mitchell Starc taking 4 wickets, before finishing the day 61/1.

Even if England win, Australia retain the urn, but both sides will be hoping to end the series on a winning note.
