In the second innings of the Lord’s Test against Australia, Ben Stokes scored an inning of 155 runs off 214 balls. He hit 9 fours and 9 sixes in his innings. However, the England captain did not get the support of the rest of the batsmen from the second innings, as a result the hosts fell 43 runs short of the target.

I wasn’t joking about calling Ben Stokes the most competitive bloke I’ve played against. Innings of the highest quality but Australia is too good at the moment ЁЯСН
