England vs. Australia Fifth Ashes Test: Latest Odds, Team News, Date, Time & Location

Australia retained the Ashes after Manchester's wretched weather ruptured England's hopes of a series-levelling victory in the fourth Test.

A failure to even take to the field during the final day was a real sickener for England who had accumulated a stunning first-innings score of 592, while they needed five wickets to bowl Australia out.

The Urn may be staying in Australia, but there is still plenty to play for in the fifth and final Test as England look to salvage a draw, while the Aussies will attempt to secure their first Series win over on these shores since 2001.

Below we bring you everything you need to know ahead of this week's Fifth Test.

Who is the favourite in the Fifth Ashes Test Odds?

England, no doubt still reeling from their misfortune in the Fourth Test, head to The Oval as the 11/8 favourites to restore some pride with a win which would draw the Series 2-2.

Australia are priced to 13/8 to win for the second time in London following their victory at Lord's, while a second successive draw is available at 31/10.

Joe Root is the 3/1 favourite to be England's top batsman in the first innings, while Mark Wood can be backed at 11/4 to get the most wickets for his country in the first innings.

Steve Smith is the 11/4 frontrunner to be the top Australia batsman, with skipper Pat Cummins 21/10 for top Aussie bowler (both first innings).

Smith is also the 7/1 favourite to be crowned Man of the Match, Root is 15/2, while the likes of Wood, Usman Khawaja, and Marnus Labuschagne can be backed at 10/1.

England vs Australia Ashes Series Odds

Australia are 2-1 up and the odds-on 8/13 favourites to go on and win the Series, which they will do if they either win or draw the final Test.

England can no longer win the Urn but they can at least salvage a draw with a win in the Fifth Test at 11/8.

What did Ben Stokes and Pat Cummins say after Australia retained the Ashes?

It was a flat end to the Fourth Test with no play whatsoever on the final day, meaning the match ended in a draw. Both captains were interviewed by BBC Sport under umbrellas in the aftermath.

Ben Stokes:

"It's a tough pill to swallow, knowing the weather is the reason we sit here with a draw, but we did everything we possibly could in the hours of play we managed to get.

"I can't actually look back and think we could have been better because we were pretty much perfect throughout the whole game."

Pat Cummins:

"It's really nice to retain but obviously not in the circumstances we would have liked.

"It feels a bit weird. The rain might have helped us, but it was a great result."
