Advantage Australia after first day

Advantage Australia after first day
England slumped to 307 for eight in their first innings on the opening day of the fifth Ashes Test at the Oval on Thursday through a combination of indifferent shots and disciplined Australian pace bowling.

Each of the England top four contributed to their dismissals while the Australians, who decided to omit off-spinner Nathan Hauritz for the second Test in succession, bowled with sustained aggression and control.

Peter Siddle was the pick of the bowlers with four for 63.

With the series tied at 1-1, England need to win the final Test to reclaim the Ashes from Australia, who need only a draw.
