England batsman Joe Root and bowler Stuart Broad both reach career-high ICC rankings following the first Ashes Test against Australia.

Joe Root and Stuart Broad have climbed into the top five in the ICC's batsman and bowler rankings respectively for the first time in their England careers.

Australia's Steve Smith, who had been ranked top heading into the Cardiff Test, slips to second, as South Africa's AB de Villiers jumps up to number one.

Broad moves up one spot in the bowler's rankings to a career-high fifth, three spots behind teammate James Anderson as Dale Steyn remains at the top.

Meanwhile, Moeen Ali makes his first appearance in the top 10 all-rounders list, climbing nine spots to ninth in the world.
