Ashes 2023: England vs Australia, 5th Test – Stats Preview

The first three Ashes Test matches were full of thrill as the matches went down to the wire. However the fourth Test match was thoroughly dominated by the hosts but no result was possible because of relentless rain on the final two days at Old Trafford, Manchester, which allowed only 30 overs on the penultimate day whereas no play was possible on the final day.

With this rain-affected draw, Australia have retained the Ashes whereas England will be looking to draw level in the series. Zak Crawley was able to deliver at the top of the order with a scintillating knock of 189 runs off just 182 balls. The England opener took the Australian bowling attack to the cleaners and played the best knock of his career.

On the other hand, Marnus Labuschagne got back to form for Australia and it is a big positive for the visitors. Furthermore, they might think of playing Todd Murphy as Cameron Green hasn’t been at his absolute best in the three Test matches he has played in the series.

England vs Australia, 4th Test – Stats Preview

England captain Ben Stokes needs three wickets to complete 200 scalps in Test cricket but he hasn’t bowled much due to his knee injury.

James Anderson needs 11 wickets to become the first fast bowler to complete 700 Test wickets but the veteran pacer has failed to create any impact for the hosts.

Australian all-rounder, Mitchell Marsh needs six wickets to reach 50 wickets in Test matches. Marsh also requires 12 runs to complete the 1500-run mark.

Usman Khawaja has amassed 4885 runs and another 115 runs will help him reach the milestone of 5000 runs.

In-form Travis Head needs 143 runs to complete 3000 runs in Test cricket.

Australia’s wicket-keeper bat Alex Carey needs another 35 runs to get to the landmark of 1000 Test runs.
