Well done to our blind cricketers!
England win to retain blind Ashes
The England blind cricket team have retained the Ashes after taking a 3-0 series lead against Australia. Matt Dean's side won a tight first match by 33 runs with Nathan Foy and Luke Sugg both scoring 74.
In the second game Foy struck the first double century in the Ashes as England claimed a crushing 135-run win.
The success was sealed with a seven-wicket win on Tuesday with Sugg hitting a masterful century to guide his side home with four overs to spare.
England went into the five-match series as slight favourites following wins in the last three matches between the sides.
England had enjoyed home success in the first Ashes series in 2004 coming out 3-2 series winners.
