The Oppenheimer Vs Barbie debate is intensifying in the England dressing room. England cricketers seem to have moved on from the disappointment of the fourth Test getting washed out due to rain, which meant they could not level the five-match Ashes series. The fifth Test begins on July 27 at The Oval in London. The Ben Stokes-led side seems to have found a way to move on. Last week, the two big hollywood films released all over the world, including Greta Gerwig's 'Barbie' and Christopher Nolan's 'Oppenheimer'. The fans of the movies are divided over which film is better and should be watched first. Not to forget, both of these films have opened to positive reviews.

England pacer Mark Wood mocked Ben Stokes, who happens to be an Oppenheimer fan. Ahead of the fifth Test, England captain took his seat for the pre-match press conference and just before the first question, someone started playing the song 'Barbie Girl' on a mobilephone. The whole room started to laugh even as Stokes looked bemused. Then a journalist pointed to Mark Wood who was standing on a floor above. The camera could spot Wood having a laugh before Stokes screamed 'Woooody' at him.
