2nd highest run total for a test in the uk.

8th highest run total for any test.
 
One particularly towering six from Stokes, the Sky cameraman who was following the ball fell backwards off his chair as it reached its peak :emoticon-0140-rofl::emoticon-0140-rofl:

that'll be the one that landed in the floor above the test match special radio commentators.

Zac Crawley for nought, Root for three. Ah well. fun while it lasted, I'll watch the racing instead. In which, I was so engrossed, only checked the England batting collapse at 6 ish. Eh what???? Some days you choose well, other days, oh cack, missed a treat.
 
Absolutely fantastic knock from Jonny B. Hopefully Stokes can play through the pain and see it through now. Plenty of overs and 5 wickets to get 27 runs. Don't blow it!
Bugger, when I switched off, he had 40 off I think around 45 balls, so that last 90odd must have been of less than 50. Incredible
 
I got around last night to catch up on the highlights, what a day of cricket. The way both teams played the game, in a very good atmosphere of sportsmanship, was both breathtaking and a joy to watch. When JB is in that mood, he is unstoppable.
 
It's a massive complement to Joe Root to maintain such professionalism after standing down as skipper to continue to produce the form we've seen for the last couple of years, but the change in philosophy from Stokes and Mccullum has been a breath of fresh air, and isn't it a pleasure to see the lads performing and enjoying the game instead of the weight of the shackles placed on them by Silverwoods regime weighing them down. This is what positivity brings !
