ENG 67, 362/9 (125.4)

England won by 1 wkt

PLAYER OF THE MATCH

Ben Stokes

Breathe. Please breathe. So 2005 debates around the non-presence of DRS. 2019 will debate
around the wastage of DRS. And Joel Wilson. Oh yea, and also Ben Stokes. 1981, Sir Ian Botham,
you've officially been replaced. It isn't often in life when a Sunday lives up to its reputation, and TRENDING VIDEOS
when it does, your life will find meaning. While we await our ventilators, I, Vineet Anantharaman,
sign off on behalf of the other partners in crime, Sagar Chawla and Rishi Roy. Also our scorer,
Harish. And until the end of our lives in the search of a bigger high, ta ta!!

Surprise, surprise, Ben Stokes is the Man of the Match. Really, him? Why? ►

Harsha Bhogle: Headingley. Botham. Stokes. Sits comfortably. One of the great
innings you will ever see. England won it as much as Australia lost it. There is no 2:31

greater sport than test cricket. May it long survive.

It was lost when England crumbled out for 67. It was lost when they had to chase down a 359-run
never-done-before mountain. It was lost when Roy and Rory did nothing to strengthen the chase. It
was lost when Root fell early this morning. It was lost when Stokes sold Buttler down the river. It
was lost when Archer thought it to be wise to slog them around for fun. It was lost when Broad
couldn't keep out a yorker. It was lost when Leach brain-exploded a single-that-wasn't. It was lost ►
when Stokes swept himself plumb. Alas, it wasn't. It was won.
