How to impress new England boss? Stage a 'fight'...
A staged 'fight' between England cricketers Mark Wood and Ben Stokes showed how comfortable the squad was together ahead of the summer Ashes series, according to Stuart Broad.
In a special documentary reliving England's series win against Australia, Broad and teammate Joe Root recalled how on a training camp in Spain Stokes and Wood pretended to fight to scare new coach Trevor Bayliss in the first week in his job - before revealing it was staged.
Root and Broad: How We Won The Ashes will be first broadcast at 20:30 on Thursday 17 December on BBC Radio 5 live, and available to download afterwards as a podcast on the link below. You can watch the programme from Boxing Day on the BBC iPlayer.
