LEEDS, England - An extraordinary 135 not out from Ben Stokes earned England an exciting one-wicket victory in the third Ashes test on Sunday to level the series against Australia at 1-1, with the home side chasing down a record target of 359 in dramatic fashion.
With one wicket left, England one-day World Cup hero Stokes knew everything depended on him and he smashed a remarkable eight sixes to all corners of the ground to get England within touching distance of their highest-ever second-innings total to win a test match. Captain Joe Root, who played brilliantly to give England a chance coming into day four, chased an aggressive shot down the pitch only to edge to David Warner in the sixth over of the day, departing for a valuable 77.
Bairstow was given out in the second ball of the afternoon session, but the Decision Review System handed him, and England, a reprieve, before the batsman was caught in the slips for a hard-earned 36, with the partnership worth 86.
