The 2005 Ashes series has gone down as one of the greatest in history, with England winning back the urn for the first time since 1987.
After being thumped by 239 runs in the first Test at Lord's, England staged a memorable comeback to win the series 2-1. It was a series which truly captured the nation thanks to stunning performances from the likes of Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff, Kevin Pietersen and Shane Warne, coupled with the fact that it was broadcast on free-to-air TV and attracted a peak viewership of 8.3 million.
After regaining the Ashes, the celebrations were just as legendary as the on-field performances themselves with Flintoff and Matthew Hoggard getting into trouble at 10 Downing Street after an open-top bus tour and photo opportunity with then Prime Minister Tony Blair were organised for the day after the final Test finished.
