It was not quite the post-Ashes bender of 2005, but England's victorious cricketers hit the town to celebrate their first Lord's win over Australia for 75 years.

Man of the match Andrew Flintoff spent the evening in Guy Ritchie's Mayfair pub the Punch Bowl with wife Rachel.

While Kevin Pietersen, Stuart Broad and Paul Collingwood marked the win with dinner at Japanese restaurant Nobu in Berkeley Street.

Their celebrations came after Flintoff inspired England to a historic victory over Australia in the Ashes.

Flintoff blew apart the Australian lower-order batsmen as England claimed a first Test win over Australia at Lord's since 1934.

The all-rounder claimed three wickets as Australia were dismissed for 406, giving England a 115-run victory.

After he was named man of the match for taking five second innings wickets, Flintoff said: "You may be aching a little bit but when the crowd gets behind you, you can't stop."

His captain Andrew Strauss praised Flintoff's performance as "magnificent". Flintoff's heroics were watched at the ground by his wife Rachel and millions on television.

The City had virtually halted as traders tuned into the dramatic final overs.
