Australia 61 for 1 (Khawaja 26*) trail England 283 (Brook 85, Starc 4-82) by 222 runs
London: England face a battle to level the Ashes after Australia enjoyed the better of the first day of the fifth Test at The Oval.
Finally winning the toss for the first time in the series, Australia pounced on the opportunity to put England in on a green-tinged pitch and dismissed the home side for 283 before moving to 61-1, 222 behind.
Harry Brook held England together with 85 from 91 balls, adding 111 for the fourth wicket with Moeen Ali, who made 34.
But England were hurt by two clusters of wickets. At one stage they lost three for 11, on the other occasion four for 28.
Similarly, Australia were wasteful. They dropped five catches, most crucially Brook when he had scored only five. The tourists also missed the opportunity to run out Brook when he had 50.
Brook eventually fell to Mitchell Starc, who claimed 4-82, with Australia then making an assured start to their reply through openers David Warner and Usman Khawaja.
Chris Woakes had Warner well held at second slip by Zak Crawley, leaving Khawaja unbeaten on 26 and Marnus Labuschagne on two.
Of concern to England was a groin injury Moeen sustained while he was batting. The off-spinner did not take the field as he underwent an assessment.
James Anderson, backed to play in this Test despite taking only four wickets in the series, bowled seven unsuccessful overs.
At 2-1 down, England know Australia have retained the urn, but are looking to protect an unbeaten home record in Ashes series that stretches back to 2001.
