  1. Broad to retire after final Ashes Test

    We start with the news that caught pretty much everyone by surprise on Saturday evening.

    England bowler Stuart Broad says he will retire after the conclusion of this Test match at The Oval.

    The 37-year-old has taken 602 wickets in 167 Tests, making him the second most successful paceman in Test history behind team-mate James Anderson.

    Broad said he made the decision on Friday evening before informing captain Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum.

    "I have been thinking about it for a couple of weeks," he told BBC Test Match Special.

    "About 8:30 last night I made the call. It has been a huge privilege and honour to represent both Nottinghamshire and England for such a long time.

    "But something inside of me wanted to finish playing at the top level. And England vs Australia at The Oval in one of the most entertaining, fun Ashes I can remember seems an appropriate time."
