England bowler Stuart Broad says he will retire after the conclusion of the fifth Ashes Test at The Oval.

The 37-year-old has taken 602 wickets in 167 Tests, making him the second most successful paceman in Test history behind team-mate James Anderson.

Broad said he made the decision on Friday evening.

"It's been a wonderful ride, a huge privilege to wear the Nottinghamshire and the England badge as much as I have," he told Sky Sports.

"I've been thinking about it for the last few weeks but England v Australia has always been the pinnacle for me.

Sad to see him go - but, he is getting on in years, and I can certainly understand his desire to go out at the top.

Congrats to him on a wonderful career!
