We hope you have enjoyed following every ball of the nailbiting Ashes decider with Hawk-Eye, the computer software that answers some of the age-old questions in cricket.
With the series delicately poised at 1-1, Australia needed only to draw with England at the Brit Oval to retain the famous urn, but after a disastrous reply to England's first innings they left themselves with a mountain to climb which ultimately proved insurmountable, Andrew Strauss's side winning by 197 runs to regain the Ashes urn that they last lifted at the same venue four years ago.
Every decision, of course, is critical, and it's easy to be wise after the event, but you can see if the umpires got it right with our graphics, statistics and analysis.
Was Michael Clarke run out? How far did Graeme Swann turn that ball? How quick is James Anderson's slower ball?
Our ball-by-ball coverage is complemented with over-by-over analysis of the main talking points by one of our writers, enabling you to relive one of the sweetest victories there is for an England sports fan.
