'If I had a sister, I would want her to ***** B....': Twitter reacts to Ben Stokes' Ashes heroics — England bowler Stuart Broad twitter this picture of Ben Stokes hiding his face behind his cap.

Ben Stokes played one of Test cricket’s greatest innings as England defeated Australia by one wicket in an epic third Ashes Test at Headingley on Sunday. England, bowled out for just 67 in their first innings, needed 73 more runs to reach a victory target of 359 when last man Jack Leach, came into bat on the fourth day. But Leach held firm before Stokes, the batting hero of England’s World Cup final triumph, hit the winning runs by flaying paceman Pat Cummins for a four that saw the all-rounder finish on 135 not out.

I'm fortunate enough to be old enough to have witnessed the Botham and Willis Headingley miracle in 1981 live and honestly thought that I'd never ever see it topped but thanks to Ben Stokes I have seen it topped #Ashes2019 #ENGvAUS #bbccricket
