England have resisted the temptation to bring in fresh faces for the final match of the Ashes, but several members of their unchanged squad could be playing for their Test futures at The Oval.

The battle for the famous urn ended at 6.15pm on Sunday, when a 185-run win handed Australia an unassailable lead at Old Trafford.

But a 2-2 series draw remains a possibility for Joe Root's side, a matter of pride as well as points in the new World Test Championship.

"I've played three and lost three (against Australia) which is disappointing, but they are a good side. It's not easy to win Test matches but I will be trying to change that next week if I play."

Overton is one of those hoping to do enough to be part of the post-Bayliss era, which gets off to a busy start this winter with trips to New Zealand, South Africa and Sri Lanka.

"You can't look back too much, you have to keep looking forward," he said.

"There are tours in the winter and people are going to want to be contributing to get on those tours."
