    Highest 6th wicket partnership in the history of the game!

    Stokes doing this doesn't surprise me at all. As I've said before, I've had him down as the heir to Botham and Flintoff (albeit more of a batter and less of a bowler) since I first came across him at about age 17. But it's great to see that Bairstow can do it too.

    DROPPED!

    Stokes passes 250. Highest score by a number 6 in test history.

    Dropped by De Villiers of all people... who then runs Stokes out!

    Unbelievable stuff by Stokes and Bairstow, and a great time to declare by Cook. Anderson and Broad get 2 bites at the new ball before and after tea.

    What an incredible game!

    Just checked the score. What in the world has happened <laugh>

    That is ridiculous

    England scored 312 runs in 38.5 overs today apparently

    A bit more has come through - Scotland Police are investigating his death after his body was found in a private property near Inverness.

    Oh dear. I wondered if there was something odd like an over celebration involved, simply because nothing had been said and so code to new Year. Sad.

    Another drop..came really quickly at an awkward height, but you expect a test slip fielder to take those
