Australia have retained The Ashes after four Tests, but the visitors still have one more task at hand heading into the final clash against England at The Oval.

The sides have faced each other at the ground three times in the past decade, with the Aussies and England winning one apiece, while the 2013 fixture ended in a draw. Australia also won the WTC Final in Kennington last month.

This time around, the visitors will enter the clash with a 2-1 series lead and given they were the holders of the urn prior to the series and the worst result being a draw, they will be in possession for at least another 18 months. 

The Sporting News details Australia's history at The Oval below. 

Australia's record at The Oval

Over the years, Australia have played 38 Tests against England at Old Trafford, as well as a further one match against India at the same venue just last month.
