Emerging from the ‘ashes’ of their first innings, England registered a historic win in the Leeds Test, thus stopping Australia from taking away the series.
The man behind it: Ben Stokes. Sir Ben Stokes. Legendary Ben Stokes. Almighty Ben Stokes.
Those are not the titles I have given him, they have been given by people. His people and ours; basically everyone around the planet who follows cricket.
Repeating his World Cup heroics, the man scored 135 runs to get England a 1-wicket victory after they were bundled out for 67 in their first innings. Chasing the target of 359 in the second innings, what were the chances? None on papers, many in minds of a crazy man.
You will read a lot of things about this man and this match in coming days, here are some of them for now.
There is no joy greater than the joy of watching a well played Test match. Thanks for making this one, Ben.
