SuggestedLeadIn: Reaction from Alastair Cook and Joe Root after England regained the Ashes from Australia with a 3-2 series win on Sunday (23rd August) at the Oval.

Script: SOUNDBITE: (English) Alastair Cook, England captain (asked if the loss at the Oval means his team still feel like celebrating the Ashes win):

"Yeah we do. I think we probably underestimated how much the emotional high at Trent Bridge affected us. Of course we'd love to be sat here at 4-1 rather than 3-2 but you can understand it - it's all about winning three games. The mind has such a powerful effect on you as a player. We talk about days when we lose, it's how we bounce back from that. For the first four games we were fantastic and we were off the pace in this game. Credit to Australia I think what a good side they are and the character they've got. Yeah it is disappointing but I'm not going to worry about it too much tonight if I'm being brutally honest."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Alastair Cook, England captain (asked about whether the wicket favoured England during the series):

SOUNDBITE: (English) Joe Root, England batsman:

"I'm proud of what I've achieved personally but more importantly the whole squad has contributed in some shape or form in these five matches and it would be hard to single out individuals because everyone has done something crucial that has helped us to win. I'm so proud to be a part of this team and I'm really grateful to be sat here with that little urn in front of us."
