‘That ball looks nothing like the one we were playing with. I can see writing on it. It felt harder than any ball I’ve faced in this Ashes series,” Khawaja was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au after the match

Australia opener Usman Khawaja questioned the change of the ball during the second innings in the fifth and final Test of the Ashes series at The Oval after which England went on to win the match and level the series.

“I walked straight up to Kumar [umpire Dharmasena] and said straightaway, ‘That ball looks nothing like the one we were playing with. I can see writing on it. It felt harder than any ball I’ve faced in this Ashes series,” Khawaja was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au after the match.
