Brook: Win at The Oval will be moral victory for England

Rain washed away England’s hopes of levelling the series on day five of the fourth Test in Manchester as Australia retained their hold on the urn

England batter Harry Brook believes that his side will walk away with a “moral victory” if they win the fifth and final Test at The Oval and draw the Ashes 2023 series against Australia.

Rain washed away England’s hopes of levelling the series on day five of the fourth Test in Manchester as Australia retained their hold on the urn. But the hosts are now determined to level the series at 2-2 and salvage some pride from the series.

“We were dominating the game last week so if the game had played out, I would like to think we would have won. So, if we can win this week, yeah it can be a moral victory,” Brook told Sky Sports. 

“We were thinking that [we deserve something] last week when it was pouring down in Manchester. It never seems to be sunny there. But this week we will go out there, play the same way and try to get a victory.”
