Day Four Aug 24,2019
Scorecard
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.
England 374 and 146/10
Match Result - Australia won by 251 Runs
MOM - Steve Smith(Australia) for his 144 and 142
Australia 250/10 and 154/6
Match Result - Match Drawn
MOM - Ben Stokes(England)for his 115* in the 2nd innings
England 67 and 362/9
Match Result - England won by 1 wicket
MOM - Ben Stokes(England)for his 135* in the 2nd innings
In the chase of an England record 359 at a delirious Headingley, the home side still needed 73 when Stokes was joined by last man Jack Leach.
Like he did in his innings six weeks ago to the day at Lord's, Stokes launched a stunning solo assault.
He planted off-spinner Nathan Lyon for three sixes and followed that up by hitting Josh Hazlewood for four, six and six in three consecutive balls, during which point he passed 100.
With 17 needed to win, Stokes was dropped by a diving Marcus Harris. From the next over, with only two needed, Leach should have been run out, only for Lyon to fumble the ball and, from the very next delivery, Stokes could have been lbw, but Australia were out of reviews.
In the next over, Leach scrambled a single off Pat Cummins and, with one to win, Stokes hammered through the covers and sank to his knees in exhausted celebration.
It means the series is level with two matches to play, with the fourth Test at Old Trafford beginning on Sep 04,2019

England's remarkable win in numbers
- This is England's highest fourth-innings total to win a Test; the previous highest was 332-7 against Australia at Melbourne in 1928-29.
- It is the 10th highest successful chase in Test history.
- This is the third time a team has been bowled out for under 70 in their first innings and gone on to win the Test - the other two instances also occurred in the Ashes, but in 1882 (Australia 63 all out) and 1887 (England 45 all out).
- Ben Stokes and Jack Leach's stand of 76 is the third-highest 10th wicket partnership in the fourth innings to win a first-class match.
- This is only England's fourth Test victory by one wicket and first since against South Africa at Cape Town in 1923.
- Headingley is the first venue to see four fourth-innings totals over 300 to win a Test.
