Summary

The eighth extract from our exclusive 2005 Ashes video series - the (fifth) Oval Test. The climax to the series had a long and very public build up as the nation clung to the hope that England could finally get their hands on the urn that had eluded them since the 1980s. Would Simon Jones be fit? Would Glenn McGrath recover? Could Shane Warne conjure more miraculous deliveries? Did Freddie Flintoff have anything left? Would Kevin Pietersen relinquish his dead mongoose hairdo? Who would lift the urn? In thio extract we hear from McGrath, Flintoff, Vaughan, Strauss, Jones, and Langer as the match takes shape.
