NEW DELHI: Australian openers David Warner and Usman Khawaja showcased remarkable resilience, propelling their team to an unbeaten partnership of 135 runs on a rain-shortened fourth day of the fifth Ashes Test at The Oval. With a daunting target of 384 to win, the tourists' spirited performance has rekindled hopes of claiming a historic series win on English soil.
Despite England's fast-bowling great Stuart Broad's emotional announcement of retirement after the match, Warner and Khawaja thwarted his quest for a farewell wicket, leaving the cricketing world captivated by their steadfastness at the crease.
