Pietersen out as England captain
Kevin Pietersen has left his position as England captain in the wake of the row between him and coach Peter Moores.
BBC Sport understands Moores will also leave his post, although it is unclear whether they have quit or been sacked.
"Pietersen gave an ultimatum to the ECB saying 'sack the coach or I go', BBC sports editor Mihir Bose told 5 Live.
"The ECB has said 'we value you as captain but we don't take dictation from you'. So they accepted his ultimatum and he has suffered."
Both their jobs were rumoured to be under threat following an emergency meeting of the England and Wales Cricket Board on Tuesday evening.
Pietersen admitted last week his relationship with Moores was strained as they clashed on how to move England forward.
