Trent Bridge hosted the archetypal day three thriller in August 2015 as a capacity crowd was treated to England securing the Ashes in Nottingham for the first time.

The host nation arrived for the third day needing just two wickets to secure the urn, after Stuart Broad's 8-15 on day one fired them into a position of utopian strength.

After Ben Stokes removed Josh Hazlewood, Mark Wood scattered the stumps of a disconsolate Nathan Lyon to bring the contest to an end within an hour of the resumption.

Those in attendance were then treated to several hours of celebrations – featuring autographs, selfies and a visit from the Red Arrows – and outgoing Australia captain Michael Clarke received a fitting Trent Bridge reception upon emotionally announcing his retirement.

It was, quite frankly, a heartily magnificent day.
