The Ashes 5th Test free bets and betting tips
The Ashes final Test of the series starts on Thursday, July 27 at The Oval in London as England look to make it 2-2 overall as Australia retain the urn.
And talkSPORT BET are offering new customers up to £20 in free bets when they bet bet up to £20 on any of the cricket this summer.
England could well have secured last weekend's test to tie it up 2-2, but the rain squandered much of the play and as such with cricket, The Ashes are technically retained by Australia.
But England could still tie things up and frustrate the Aussies who won't count that as a win with a tie on the board.
England won't want to lose either as the drubbing in the first two tests set them up for a tough summer, but England have put their batting together and the likes of Zak Crawley scoring 189 in the 1st innings last week set up what could have been a momentous win.
Jonny Bairstow scored 99 not out and looked strong going into the final test.
England's squad is unchanged for the final test while Australia could see a couple of changes to their lineup, with Michael Neser and Todd Murphy in line to replace the injury doubts Mitchell Starc and Mitchell Marsh.

England's Top Batter - 1st Innings: Ben Stokes 9/2
Stokes has a few decent records in the Ashes and even leads for number of sixes hit by a player in a single innings, with nine scored.
Stokes also holds the most six-hitters of the Ashes with a huge 33.
Over the last ten years since he first faced Australia, he's hit 1517 runs and has followed that up with his record at this year's Ashes.
With 155 runs in the second innings of the 2nd test and 80 in the first innings in the third test.
He can be relied upon to step up to these big matches and is due for another good run out on the creases.
