About The Ashes 2027 — The Oval (London)

The last Test of an Ashes summer carries a weight nothing else in the calendar does — a series either already decided or still alive, at a ground that has staged more famous finishes than any other. Expect five days of shifting momentum, every session close to full, and a conclusion people still talk about years later.

History

The Oval at Kennington in south London holds a special place in Ashes history, for it was here in 1882 that Australia beat England on English soil for the first time, prompting a London newspaper to print the mock obituary that gave the series its name and its urn. The ground has been the home of Surrey since 1845 and staged the first Test match played in England, in 1880.

By long tradition it hosts the final Test of the English summer, which has made it the stage for countless series finales and title-deciding days, from Len Hutton's record 364 in 1938 to England's celebrations in 2005 and 2009. Enclosed by the city and overlooked by the gas holders that have become its emblem, an Oval Test carries a distinctive south London atmosphere, and a decider here, with the urn potentially on the line, is one of the great occasions of the sporting calendar.
