Ashes 2023, 5th Test: The Oval London Weather Today Ahead of Day 4

The hosts rode on fifties from Joe Root, Zak Crawley and Jonny Bairstow to take their second innings total to 389 for nine at stumps on day 3 with veteran pace duo James Anderson and Stuart Broad remaining unbeaten.

Root cracked 91 before being undone by a shooter, Crawley signed off a fine summer with a vibrant 73 and Bairstow clubbed 78 as the tourists chased leather for 80 overs. Mitchell Star claimed four wickets for Australia.

Australia have already retained the urn thanks to their 2-1 lead but face a mountainous battle if they are to land a first outright win on these shores in 22 years. Pat Cummins’ side are already 377 behind on a ground where the highest successful chase is 263.

Before they think of a chase, the visitors need to take the final wicket of the hosts. However, England will also have an eye on weather, which robbed them of a possible win in the fourth Test in Manchester last week.

With summer showers across the United Kingdom, will weather interrupt proceedings on Day 4 of the 5th Test? Here is a look at the London weather forecast for day 4 of the Ashes 2023 fifth Test on Sunday (July 30):
