Warner, Root pose for hard-hitting photo

England have started their Ashes celebrations in earnest, and the Australians have joined them in their change room.

Recap & highlights: Australia send Pup, Bucky off in style

James Anderson mischievously had a sly dig at the Australian team after England were left to drink alone following the first Test, with the Australians explaining their custom was to visit opposition rooms after a series had been decided.

Australia won the fifth and final Ashes Test in convincing fashion – the final margin an innings and 46 runs – to send off retirees Michael Clarke and Chris Rogers in style.

However, England claimed the series with a 3-2 result thanks to victories at Cardiff's Sophia Gardens, Edgbaston and Trent Bridge.

England's man of the series, Joe Root posted a photo with David Warner from inside the England rooms, both players raising a fist in mock reference to their bar-room bust up ahead of the 2013 series in Birmingham.

That altercation saw Warner exiled to the Australia A tour in Africa and missing the first two Tests of the series.

ANNOUNCED: The player of the Ashes

It proved a turning point of sorts in Warner's career however, with the opener averaging above 51 and scoring nine of his 12 career centuries since.

Above a picture of himself bumping fists with Warner, Root tweeted: "Very good of the Aussie lads to come across for a drink and enjoy whats been a great series #rumbleintheashes."

Warner responded by tweeting: "Was a great series, well done England!! #ashes2015"

Root finished as England's top scorer in the series with 460 runs at an average of 57, while Warner scored 418 runs at 46.
