Ashes-saving ton right up there with World Cup win: Ben Stokes

By Saurabh Sharma August 25, 2019 • 23:47 PM View: 1544

Leeds, Aug 25: For England all-rounder Ben Stokes, his masterclass unbeaten 135 that helped his side win the third Ashes Test at Headingley on Sunday by one wicket to level the series 1-1 was right up there with his World Cup final heroics.

Chasing a daunting 359 for victory after being shot out for 67 in the first innings, England were 286/9 with 73 runs still remaining when Stokes was joined by last man Jack Leach. The pair put on a stand of 76 in 10.2 overs as the hosts scripted the second-highest successful run chase in Test cricket on English soil and the joint fifth overall.
