The tourists head into a fifth and final Test at The Oval starting Thursday, 2-1 up after last week's Old Trafford washout denied a dominant England the chance to claim a series-levelling win.But the goal of a first Ashes series win away to England since 2001, a run that spans five tours, remains in their sights.
"I think the good thing is that it's a really similar group to 2019," Cummins told a pre-match press conference at The Oval on Wednesday. "We know that it wasn't our best week last week and at the end of the game it was a bit of a pat on the back, 'well done, we've retained the Ashes' but really it feels like the job's not done."
He added:"I think this is about the fourth Ashes series where Jimmy Anderson has said it's going to be his last one, so you never quite know."
