[jimharri]

GET IN!!!!!!

 

[RandomJ]

That has to go down as one of the great test innings. What a cricketer he is.

 

[ray21]

Brilliant result

 

[TCIB]

Well done Ben Stokes!

 

[discopop]

Stokes bats like a prat until he sees the chance to stroke his ego and be the hero then he bats properly, the 2 innings here demonstrate that perfectly. Quintessential KP.

Care to comment again?

Unbelievable. Glad we stopped in a pub to watch that.

 

[Ban-jani]

I feel emotional

Where do you want your statue Ben Stokes?

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Best game since Edgbaston 2005.

If only Pietersen batted like Stokes ;-)

 

[KS55]

Brilliant. Test cricket still supreme. Stokes spirit amazing.

Was keeping an eye on the score all day but only watched from 21 runs out. Didn't want to jinx it. Aussies will be fuming they reviewed the one pitching outside leg. Stupid call.

In the bag this, england will win this comfortably, glad i took 5/1 yesterday

Great call

 

[BlueMojito]

Stokes has got to stay in to give us any chance.

What a brilliant performance.

 

[mccity]

Best England batsman since James Vince

 

[mat]

Best innings since Botham?

My thoughts exactly.

I thought when they did that, they had just severely impaired their chances. The umpires are appalling.

Yes. Bad decision to use DRS. However, The umpires no call for LBW was absolutely criminal. That’s as plumb as you will see and he has absolutely bottled it. Shocking decision.

I’m not sure I have ever been so nervous watching a sporting event.

It’s up there with the QPR game and our victory at Edgbaston in 2005.
