The Ashes: Third Test

When In Rome

         

Ben Stokes century leads England to epic Ashes-saving win at Headingley

                                                                        Ben Stokes' astonishing 135 not out repeated his World Cup heroics and gave England one of their greatest victories to keep the Ashes series alive. Just as he dragged England through the super over against New Zealand, Stokes played one of the most incredible Test innings by an Englishman to level the series at 1-1.                                Click to expand...       

Sometimes words do fail me.

I'll come back when I've thought of some.

Just seen the fumble by Lyon, that is incredible.

Waiting for the Sky highlights programme.

In Australia it will be renamed the 'lowlights'.

Football? Pah!

Cricket? Greatest game in the world!

Don't want to burst anyone's bubble, but the Aussies are still 1-1.

Never mind, momentum and belief can take you a long way in any sport. I still think England have work to do in the batting, but enjoy tonight!

Greg Hook

Yes, but that's better than being 2-0 and no chance of winning.

If this doesn't give England confidence batting nothing will.

When In Rome

I'm watching a third highlights package now.

It really is utterly amazing.

With 73 runs needed and ONLY Stokes and the number eleven in, the game was surely done.

Ben Stokes, what a hero!

When In Rome

It is. Second half and 0-2 down a few fans were following the test on their phones!
