Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler and Nat Sciver

It has been an amazing year for English cricket, from the despair of two defeats to an incredible Test comeback.

There have been many memorable moments, from the brilliance of Bairstow to the controversy surrounding Mankad.

You can look back on 10 moments from the England's men's and women's sides in the year 2022.

The drawn Women's Ashes Test

One of the most amazing finales in cricket has been seen in the Women'sAshes Test.

England were set 257 in 45 overs by Australia and needed 45 from 60 balls to win. As the pressure increased, England's attention was diverted to saving the draw and Australia were favourites to win the series.

It was left to Kate Cross to survive the last over, which she did with the help of her friend.

Sciver's 148 not out in World Cup final

NatSciver's performance in the Women's World Cup final should not be forgotten.

The all-rounder was the only England batter to pass 30 as her side were outclassed once again by Australia.

Root scores 10,000th Test run in England victory

England's summer started with a tense win over New Zealand at Lord's where Joe Root scored his 10,000th Test run.

It was an emotional moment for Root, who stepped down as captain.

He became the second England player to reach 10,000 runs in Tests, and the same age as his former team-mate, making them the youngest to do so.

Bairstow's blistering century at Trent Bridge

One of the early signs of England's new approach to men's Test cricket. England were set a challenging 299 from 72 overs on the final day of the second Test. When they fell to 93-4, the task was made more difficult.

In the final session, Bairstow made a huge impact. He missed the chance to make the fastest England Test hundred by one ball. England won with 22 overs to spare.

England's record chase against India

The triumph against India in the rearranged fourth Test was one of the high points of the summer.

The highest score they have ever made in a fourth-innings chase is 372, and the ninth largest in Test history. Bairstow was not out on 114 andRoot was not out on 142.

Cricket leads tributes to Queen Elizabeth II

After the first day of the third Test between England and South Africa was washed out, it was announced that Queen Elizabeth II had passed away.

The second day was called off as a mark of respect and the game began a day later, making it one of the first major public events after the Queen's death.

The players and umpires entered the field through a military guard of honour and a minute's silence was observed before the national anthem.

Sharma's Mankad at Lord's

It's probably the most controversial moment of the year.

England needed 17 to win the third one-day international against India, but the bowler stopped in her stride and ran out the batter at the non-striker's end.

A momentous day at Lord's was overshadowed by the dismissal of Mankad.

England's demolition of India at T20 World Cup

Is it the most complete performance of the year?

In the T20 World Cup semi-finals in Australia, England set 169 to win and captain Buttler and opener Alex Hales were unstoppable.

One of England's great white-ball wins was achieved when they smashed six after six.

England win Men's T20 World Cup

England won the world title with a victory over Pakistan at the cricket ground.

It was a tense encounter in a highly-charged atmosphere but Ben Stokes was there to guide England to a five-wicket victory.

The first Test between England and Pakistan was an amazing spectacle. On the first day of a Test, England scored 509 runs, the most runs ever on the first day of a Test, with five different players hitting centuries.
