Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq said England can give themselves a “big chance” of winning the Ashes in Australia later this year if they maintain their current form.

 

England head into the final Test of four against Pakistan starting at The Oval on Thursday with the series secured at 2-0.

 

That represents their first Test series win since last year's thrilling 2-1 Ashes triumph and this recent success has been made all the more creditable by the absence through injury of star players such as Andrew Flintoff.

 

“If England play like this there will be good games and it will be difficult to say who will win,” said Inzamam. “But if England perform at the same level they have a big chance. With the batsmen in form and the bowlers bowling well the Ashes will be a very good series,” he added.
