Utterly devastated - no more words were needed for the pain on Ben Stokes face as Carlos Brathwaite dispatched the first four balls of the final over for sixes to wrench the World T20 trophy out of England's hands. 

It was cruel but brilliant drama and it was the talk of this morning's Warwickshire CCC photo call. Those who've played with Stokes for England are confident he will bounce back.

Despite England's defeat there's real positivity to come out of their run to the final. Warwickshire have already announced plans to allow under-16s in for free to T20 matches this season, while two of their games will be double headers with the women's side. 

It may be little consolation to Ben Stokes now but the thrilling climax to the World T20 could be just what cricket around the world needs.

Our video here explains how a father driving his young family spotted a so-called car cruising event - and decided to join in.

It's just one in a series of street racing episodes that police say are becoming an increasing problem in the region.

If you are just catching up on Monday's news, here are our top stories:

- Nine people are being questioned on suspicion of murder after a man's body was found in a Birmingham hostel on Sunday

- A Birmingham woman died trying to save her friend who drowned during "a quick dip after a night out", a court hears

- Arrests for cannabis possession in the West Midlands have fallen, figures obtained by BBC Breakfast suggest

Here's more on today's inquest story: Tina Tysall, Tracey Aston's mother, told the court: "She was just a lovely girl. Every photo we have of Tracey is by a beach, she absolutely loved the water."

Speaking after the inquest, Ms Tysall said it was "Tracey's first ever girlie holiday abroad with her friends. 

"It was a four-day break that Tracey was looking forward to very much before she was to return home to her husband, two beautiful sons and the rest of her adoring family. This was never to happen. 

"This heart-breaking tragedy has resulted in two very young boys losing their mum, their world."

A mother-of-two who "loved the water" drowned at sea when she went for a "quick dip" following a night out on a Spanish holiday, an inquest heard.

Tracey Aston, 32, had been talking to four friends about "how nice" the holiday at Lloret de Mar had been moments before entering the sea. 

Birmingham Coroner's Court was told hairdresser Tracey was swept into the water in the early hours of 1 October 2015, along with friend Lisa Coggins, 35, who was trying to save her. They were walking along the beach after visiting a nightclub.

Recording a verdict of accidental death due to asphyxia for the Birmingham pair, Senior Coroner Louise Hunt said their loss was an "awful tragedy".

Nine people have been arrested on suspicion of murder. The eight men and a woman continue to be questioned, external.

Arrests for cannabis possession in England and Wales have dropped by 46% since 2010, figures obtained by BBC Breakfast suggest.

Cautions fell by 48% and the number of people charged fell by 33%, according to data from police forces released under the Freedom of Information Act.

In the West Midlands, arrests dropped from 3,496 to 2,302, while Staffordshire Police figures fell from 733 to 556.   

Crime survey data, external, however, suggests cannabis use in England and Wales remained roughly level from 2010-15 - leading to suggestions, BBC Breakfast says, that police are turning a blind eye to possession of the drug.
