Ashes 2019: Mitchell Marsh five-for headlines even session for both teams

David Warner set an unwanted record when he failed again on day two of the final Ashes Test, but Australia talisman Steve Smith was unbeaten at lunch after Jofra Archer's double strike at The Oval. Mitchell Marsh claimed a maiden five-wicket Test haul and Pat Cummins dismissed Jos Buttler for 70 to bowl England out for 294 early on a sunny Friday in London. Warner made only five to become the first opener to fall for eight single-digit scores in a Test series, but the prolific Smith and Marnus Labuschagne saw Australia through to 55-2 at the end of the morning session. Jack Leach also chopped to end the innings and give recalled all-rounder Marsh, who stated "most of Australia hates me" after taking four wickets on the opening day, his best Test figures.
