The Ashes



A truly wonderful day, England have won the Ashes back! After 18 years we have claimed cricket's most prestigious prize

Triumphant England reclaim Ashes

Fifth Test, The Oval:
England 373 & 221-7 drew with Australia 367

England win the Ashes 2-1

Pietersen hit seven sixes to set a new Ashes record for England

Kevin Pietersen hit his first ever Test century on day five at The Oval to set up the draw England needed to win the Ashes for the first time since 1987.

Pietersen hit 158 and Ashley Giles 59 before England were bowled out for 335, leaving Australia to bat out the day.

But there were just four balls before bad light stopped play, and it took 15 minutes for a draw to be declared.

England were in trouble during the morning, losing four wickets, with two in successive balls to Glenn McGrath.
