LEEDS, England - England captain Joe Root praised “freak” Ben Stokes for one of the greatest of all match-winning test innings and believes the all-rounder’s epic has helped instil fresh belief in his side that they can now go on to regain the Ashes.
Stokes plundered eight sixes in his astounding innings that fashioned a wholly unlikely one-wicket win for England, bringing the five-match series level at one-all, with everything to play for in the final two tests. “He’s the ultimate team man, will do everything for every single player - that’s why he’s a brilliant vice-captain.
Having bowled England out for 67 in their first innings — their 12th lowest test innings total ever — Australia looked sure to take a 2-0 lead in the series which would have ensured they retained the Ashes.
