    Ashes, 5th Test: Harry Brook smashes a quickfire 85

    What's the story

    England continued with their Bazball ploy after being put to bat in the 5th and final Ashes Test at the Kennington Oval.

    While the top order gave the hosts a brisk start, Harry Brook carried the rope and slammed a quickfire 85.

    He fell short of his fifth Test ton but propelled England past 200.

    Here are the key stats.

    Knock

    A brisk knock by Brook

    Brook came to the middle after England were reduced to 73/3. The hosts had lost Ben Duckett, Zak Crawley, and Joe Root by then.

    Brook added a century stand with Moeen Ali, having taken the hosts past 180.

    However, spinner Todd Murphy broke the partnership by dismissing the latter.

    England suffered a batting collapse, with Brook managing a 91-ball 85 (11 fours, 2 sixes).
