A video that allegedly shows Ben Stokes throwing punches in a street fight has emerged on the day he was selected for England's Ashes squad.
England vice-captain Stokes was arrested on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm and released without charge on Monday, but remains under investigation.
Coach Trevor Bayliss has described the circumstances which led to Stokes' arrest in Bristol early on Monday as "very unprofessional".
A man said by The Sun to be Stokes is seen to throw punches at two men, in a video that was published on the newspaper's website.
The England and Wales Cricket Board said: "We have seen this footage for the first time tonight - when posted by The Sun.
"There is an ongoing Police investigation, which will look at all available evidence, and we do have to respect that process."
Stokes is set to retain the England Test vice-captaincy, in the immediate term at least, despite his arrest and a broken finger on his right hand understood to have been suffered during the night out in Bristol.
ECB director Andrew Strauss confirmed that stance from the governing body at a press conference following the announcement of this winter's Ashes squad, before Wednesday's Royal London Series victory over West Indies at The Oval.
Stokes and Alex Hales, who drove back to Bristol voluntarily the previous day to provide evidence about the disorder in the early hours of Monday, were both absent from the six-run DLS win which clinched the one-day international series thanks to a 3-0 lead with just one match to play.
It is the longer-term future, however, which is potentially of grave concern to England and Stokes - who is currently still set to fly out with the rest of Joe Root's squad when they depart for the Ashes on October 28
