Cricket: Sixth Test
England v Australia
The Oval provides a historic venue for Grandstand's last Test cricket of the summer. With the Ashes already lost, England will be hoping that this game provides an end-of-season boost as they now set their sights on the winter tour of the West Indies. This match almost certainly sees the last appearance in a Test in England of Australian captain Allan Border, the world's most prolific scorer of Test match runs.
