Australian reporters have claimed that England's cricketers urinated on the pitch at The Oval while celebrating their Ashes series win last night.

It has been reported that a number of players took turns relieving themselves on the field, and this apparently could be clearly seen from the outside areas of the press box.

The celebrations went on long into the evening, with bowler Stuart Broad tweeting a picture of captain Alastair Cook and wicket-keeper Matt Prior trying to hail a late night bus while still wearing their kit.
