TONY EASTLEY: It's been the most hyped Cricket Test in years, with England poised to wrest the Ashes away from Australia.

The first day of the fifth and final Test at The Oval in London didn't disappoint the fans, from either side. England won the toss, batted and looked like building a formidable score, with opener Andrew Strauss in scintillating form against a fairly lacklustre Australian pace attack.

But Shane Warne, who may be playing his last Test in England, had other ideas. In a marathon spell, he took five wickets, the first time he's knocked over a team's first five batsmen.

SPORTS COMMENTATOR 1: As he bowls again, and it's edge to slip, and he's caught by Hayden. That is a great catch.

SPORTS COMMENTATOR 2: In goes Warne again, down the leg side. It's flicked away. Oh, it's a real strangle really, by Vaughan. And it's presented Shane Warne with his second wicket of the morning. And there, belt in the pad, he's out! My word, it's given out. Absolutely.

SPORTS COMMENTATOR 3: As Warne, fair-haired creeps in again. Again bowls from wide of the crease. He hits it and bowls him with a wonderful bit of bowling.

SPORTS COMMENTATOR 1: Warne tosses right up and he goes forward. It comes off the pad, a bad pad, catch, out! Brilliantly caught Katich in close. And Warne's perseverance, my word it's been perseverance that's been rewarded. His fifth wicket.

SHANE WARNE: Given the situation of the contest of the games and how tight they've been, and with the batting and bowling, it's probably been my best series by a long way.

I know statistically sometimes doesn't really show an indication, but I've just been happy with the way I've bowled, the way I've batted rather than the numbers. Yes, the numbers have been fantastic, but I think just I've been really, really happy with the way I've bowled, and that's the most pleasing thing. This job's not done yet though.

JIM MAXWELL: No, well you deserve a rest, but I think you might have to bowl a few more overs.

SHANE WARNE: Don't mind, mate. They can carry me off if they have to, with a stretcher.
