Speaking ahead of the Ashes finale, Harry Brook said that they are trying to bring Test cricket alive by playing an entertaining brand of cricket and their focus is not on winning.

“We’re not focused on winning as a side, we’re focused on making people enjoy watching and bringing Test cricket alive again. I think we’ve done a decent job of that in the last 12 months and it’s been exciting to watch. It’s definitely been exciting to play in,” he said.

We haven’t lost yet, they’ve only retained it – Harry Brook

Australia have retained the Ashes urn after the fourth Test at Old Trafford in Manchester ended in a draw following the fifth-day washout. Heading into the final Test, Australia lead the series 2-1.

Meanwhile, Harry Brook has said that they will be looking to earn a moral victory in the fifth Test to level the series 2-2 and avoid defeat.

“We haven’t lost yet, they’ve only retained it. There is another Test match to be won,” said England batter Harry Brook.

“It’s a shame the weather ruined it for us because we’d have felt very confident going into this game at 2-2. We were dominating the game last week, so if the game had played out, I would like to think we would have won. If we can win this week, yeah, it almost can make it a moral victory,” he added.

The Ashes finale is set to be hosted by The Kennington Oval in London from July 27 to 31.
