After bundling up England for 294, Australia lost both their openers early in the first session of the second day of the fifth Ashes Test at the Oval. Jofra Archer took down both David Warner and Marcus Harris within six overs. Later, Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne put a reassuring stand once again to bring the Aussies back on track. By the end of the first session, Australia put 55 runs on the board after losing 2 wickets. Steve Smith was batting on 14 and as accompanied by Labuschagne (32*). England missed an opportunity early in the day when they denied appealing for a Marnus Labuschagne's strangle down the leg-side to Stuart Broad. The Snickometer displayed a thick edge but there was no appeal from England. Earlier, all-rounder Mitchell Marsh's five-wicket haul helped Australia to bundled out England for 294 runs in the ongoing fifth Ashes Test at the Oval here on Friday. England resumed their batting from a score of 271/8 on the second day of the Test and only added 23 runs to their innings. Overnight batsman Jos Buttler was bowled out by pacer Pat Cummins after he added 70 runs to the scoreboard. Jack Leach also departed early as he was scalped by Marsh in the next over. Leach played a knock of 21 runs. For Australia, Marsh picked five wickets while Pat Cummins scalped three and Josh Hazlewood bagged two wickets. Brief Scores: England294 (Jos Buttler 70; Mitchell Marsh 5-46, Pat Cummins 3-84) lead Australia 55/2 (Marnus Labuschagne 32*, Steve Smith 14*; Jofra Archer 2-7) by 239 runs.
