England Skipper Ben Stokes Hails Special Win Against Pakistan In 1st Test

By AFP News December 06, 2022 • 11:37 AM View: 754

Skipper Ben Stokes hailed England's nail-biting victory in the first Test against Pakistan Monday as "one of the best" of his career -- particularly given the state of the lifeless Rawalpindi pitch.

With just minutes to spare in dying light after five days of enthralling cricket, England finally halted a heroic last stand by Pakistan's tailenders to win the first Test by 74 runs.
