Chris Woakes removed Australia openers David Warner and Usman Khawaja to revive England`s hopes of a series-levelling win on the last day of the fifth and final Ashes Test at The Oval on Monday.

The left-handed batsmen had both made fine fifties to take Australia to 140-0 in pursuit of a mammoth target of 384 runs. But Woakes, on an overcast morning and with a pitch freshened by rain -- classic English conditions for swing and seam bowling -- removed both batsmen in a burst of two wickets for one run in seven balls to reduce the tourists to 141-2.
