The Ashes: England captain Ben Stokes hails team's character after win over Australia at MCG follows difficult week

England captain Ben Stokes said he "could not be prouder" of his team after they rallied from a trying week to win an astonishing two-day Test at the MCG and claim a first victory in Australia since January 2011.

England headed to Melbourne 3-0 down and with the Ashes series lost inside 11 days, and then had to field accusations of a drinking culture following their break in Noosa between the second and third Tests in Brisbane and Adelaide respectively.

A social media video emerged seemingly showing batter Ben Duckett drunk.

However, Stokes was delighted with the way his side focused on the job at hand with a four-wicket victory in the fourth Test ending any chance of a 5-0 whitewash.
