Aussies celebrate their Ashes victory

Pat Cummins delivers a short ball, Chris Woakes' attempted uppercut nestles in the gloves of Tim Paine and pandemonium errupts on the WACA outfield.

Australia has regained the Ashes. 

Steve Smith's men completed an innings and 41-run win in the third Magellan Ashes Test in Perth, to take an unassailable 3-0 series lead, returning the smallest trophy in sport back to Australian hands.

As the celebrations moved into the Australian dressing room, Getty photographer Ryan Pierse was given special access to capture the early stages of the Aussie celebrations. These are his pictures from the WACA Ground.
