As you are probably all aware, Ben Stokes won the Third Ashes Test at Headingley last night.
Ben Stokes, who’s best work was previously outside of a nightclub delivered England an unbelievable victory, grabbing the Poms a one-wicket win as England achieved their record-breaking 359 run chase, stunning Austraia at Leeds.
Stokes delivered the knock, leaving himself 135 not out.
You all know what happened from there.
We don’t need to report the rest.
If you're just waking up…
England come back from 67 all out to win epic Test by one wicket, thanks to one of the greatest #Ashes innings of all time from Ben Stokes: https://t.co/pZse0Gn8QV pic.twitter.com/N89vUj0o3b
