Narrative:

After landing on runway 5R, MMMX, was cleared by tower to exit on taxiway east and hold short of runway 5L. Aircraft was slowed by captain and turned left onto taxiway east. After clearing runway, first officer contacted operations on #2 VHF, and asked the operations agent to state the gate number which the agent had been unable to state on initial radio contact about 20 mins before landing. Operations agent reply to the gate information request was, you are cleared to gate. The speakers and audio mixer switches were set in the cockpit in such a way that captain heard the agent's transmission at about the same volume level as the #1 VHF which was being used for ATC communications. Believing that it was a controller who said, you are cleared to gate, captain allowed the aircraft to continue to roll at taxi speed toward the intersection of taxiway east and runway 5L. He then looked down the runway for conflicting traffic, saw an air carrier X md-80 travelling slowly enough to turn safely at E2 taxiway and let the aircraft continue to roll slowly onto the edge of runway 5L. As it became apparent that the md-80 was not going to use taxiway E2 to captain and as it became apparent that 757 would not be stopped short of runway 5L, both first officer and the tower controller told captain to stop at about the same time he was applying the brakes to stop the aircraft which he did with about 2 ft of the nose over the east edge of the runway. The md-80 on rollout on runway 5L did not turn off at taxiway E2, but continued at taxi speed to taxiway B, its right wing tip clearing the nose of the 757 by about 30-40 ft at a safe rate of speed.

AFTER CLRING RWY, FO CONTACTED OPS ON #2 VHF, AND ASKED THE OPS AGENT TO STATE THE GATE NUMBER WHICH THE AGENT HAD BEEN UNABLE TO STATE ON INITIAL RADIO CONTACT ABOUT 20 MINS BEFORE LNDG.
