England make breakthrough at tea

Australia lose two wickets at tea as England make the breakthrough on day one of the fifth Ashes Test at The Oval.

Australia have been reduced to 184-2 at tea on day one of the fifth Ashes Test at The Oval.

The tourists negotiated the morning session without losing a wicket, but the departures of Chris Rogers and David Warner have seen England make the breakthrough.

Rogers was the first to go when he was caught by Alastair Cook off the bowling of Mark Wood for 43 in the 34th over.

Warner looked on course for his century as he continued to force the issue, only for the combination of Adam Lyth and Moeen Ali to dismiss him for 85.

Australia captain Michael Clarke, who is playing his last match in Test cricket, was then given a guard of honour by the England players as he made his way out to the middle.

The veteran reached 14 not out before the end of the session, with Steven Smith alongside him on 29.
