Australia openers David Warner and Usman Khawaja hit unbeaten fifties as the visitors reached 135-0 on a rain-shortened Sunday in pursuit of a mammoth target of 384 runs to win the fifth Ashes Test at The Oval. Warner was 58 not out and fellow left-hander Khawaja unbeaten on 69 when rain ended play on the fourth day. Australia need 249 more runs to complete a 3-1 series win and a first Ashes campaign triumph in England since 2001.
