BEN STOKES was left baffled after Mark Wood cheekily hijacked his Ashes press conference.

The England captain was addressing the press ahead of the series finale at The Oval.

England are hoping to win the final Test match to draw the series 2-2 after the previous fixture ended in a disappointing draw due to rain at the Old Trafford cricket ground.

As Stokes was preparing to face the media the team’s press officer was addressing the room when the song ‘Barbie Girl’ was suddenly blasted out from a speaker.

Stokes initially looked shocked when the music started playing before becoming less impressed as the song continued while the members of the press burst out laughing.

The captain was then asked to guess which player was causing the interruption.

To which he had a look and yelled: “Woody?” before having a chuckle to himself.

As the press conference continued, Stokes was then interrupted again by Wood but with the theme song of Star Wars causing him to laugh mid-sentence.

In retaliation, Stokes shouted to the fast bowler: “Can you hear me Woody?”

But after no response, Stokes said: “No he is shying away now.”

The draw in Manchester saw Australia retain the Ashes as England’s wait to win back the urn continue.

England last lifted the historic trophy in 2015 and will now have to wait to have another chance of winning it back.

The next Ashes series will take place in Australia and will run from November 2025 and January 2026.
