England all-rounder Moeen Ali has urged his side to 'put the foot on the throat' against Australia in the fifth and last Ashes Test, where England will be aiming to seal a 4-1 Ashes series triumph.
After playing a satisfactory series, the 28-year-old said that his side didn't want to mess anything up in the final Test.
Ali also said that his side have managed to smash Australia in the ongoing series, as they did to them at Lord's.
England regained the Ashes series after they claimed an emphatic innings and 78-run win over Australia in the fourth Ashes Test at Trent Bridge.
The win also marked a remarkable turnaround for England from the 5-0 hammering they endured in Australia 18 months ago. England have now beaten Australia in four consecutive home series.
The fifth and the last Ashes Test will commence from August 20 at The Oval.
