Ashes 2023, 5th Test: The Oval London Weather Today Ahead of Day 5

Australia claimed a good position to win the fifth Test against England and the first Ashes series on English soil since 2001 on a rain-hit fourth day - Sunday (July 30) at The Oval in London.

After Stuart Broad and James Anderson's short stay in the morning session took England to 395, setting a target of 384 for Australia to chase down, openers David Warner and Usman Khawaja frustrated the hosts before rain washed out remainder of the day's play.

Warner (58*) and Khawaja (69*) remained unbeaten to take Australia to 135/0 at stumps, leaving the visitors needing another 249 on day five to reel in their target of 384 - a chase that would go down as the second highest by any Australia side and eighth highest in Test history.

Australia have already retained the urn thanks to their 2-1 lead but will be keen to avoid defeat in the final Test as they aim for a first series win in England since 2001. Rain had robbed England of chance of levelling the series in the fourth Test in Manchester.

Will we see something similar in London today? Will weather interrupt proceedings on Day 5 of the 5th Test? Here is a look at the London weather forecast for day 5 of the Ashes 2023 fifth Test on Monday (July 31):
