Live coverage, through to the close of Play, of the Sixth Test as this year's Ashes series draws to an end. England will be hoping to salvage something from a disappointing series which began so promisingly with their emphatic victory in the First Test at Edgbaston. But defeat only served to galvanise Australia who, after a rain-affected draw at Lord's in the Second Test, went on to record three straight victories to ensure that the Ashes stay Down Under. Another poor result for England at the Oval will add to speculation about Mike Atherton's captaincy, while Australian skipper Mark Taylor seems to have secured his own job with his assured leadership throughout the series and his return to form with the bat. Introduced by Tony Lewis, with commentary by Richie Benaud, Geoffrey Boycott, Ian Chappell, and David Gower.
