Look who visited our favourite commentators during the Ashes telecast?

Awestruck by Jackman's presence, Taylor, Healy and Clarke found it opportune to click a picture with the Hollywood biggie even as Alastair Cook ground the Australian bowling and completed his 32nd Test ton on Day 2 of the 4th Test at the historic ground.
