Stuart Broad bid goodbye to a 16-year Test career with a thrilling win over Pat Cummins-led Australia at Kennington Oval, London. Broad had a fairytale end to an illustrious career as he took the last two wickets to guide England to a 49-run win on Day 5 of the fifth Test which helped Ben Stokes-led side level the series 2-2.
Woakes’ early strikes
Starting the day at 135/0 after a rain delay, Chris Woakes broke the partnership with the wicket of David Warner. From over the wicket, Woakes got the ball to move just enough to catch the outside edge which landed in Jonny Bairstow's gloves. Warner contributed 60 runs from 106 balls to a 140-run opening partnership. In his next over, Woakes got the ball to move the other way and trapped Usman Khawaja in front of the stumps. The wobble seam delivery got the wicket of Khawaja who scored 72 runs from 145 balls. He opted for DRS but it could not save him.
Marnus Labuschagne hit a couple of boundaries and just when the partnership was building, Mark Wood in his second over of the day got the wicket. Labuschagne got out in a similar way he did in the first innings. He edged it to Zak Crawley who took a low catch to send him back to the pavillion. Labuschagne scored just 13 runs from 33 balls.
