• Denly battles to 94 against Australia at the Oval• ‘This
Australian attack make you work hard for every run’
Joe Denly hopes he has now booked a place on England’s winter tours after a rollercoaster match during which he has witnessed the birth of his second child and now registered a career-best Test score.
While falling six runs short of a maiden hundred on day three at the Oval, Denly’s third half-century in three matches has seen his series end on an upward curve before the squad for the two‑Test series in
New Zealand in late November is picked.
