Tinie Tempah has congratulated the England cricket team following their victory over Australia in the Ashes.

The British rapper, who is touring in Australia, sent a Twitter message to batsman Kevin Pietersen shortly after their triumph down under.

“Congratulations brother! I'm in Sydney myself, where you celebrating tonight?” he wrote.

Pietersen then took a break from celebrating to reply: “DM (direct message) me, I’ll tell ya…”.

England’s victory in the final Ashes Test saw them win the series 3-1. It was also their first win on Australian soil in 24 years.
