Ben Stokes Winning Moment | Raw Vision of England's Incredible Victory v AUS | Ben Stokes Ashes 2019

World Cup hero Stokes delivered another pressure-laden knock for the ages, finishing 135 not out on Sunday as England completed their highest chase in Test history.

The hosts, skittled for 67 in their first dig, required 73 runs from their final-wicket stand to make history after Jofra Archer and Stuart Broad departed in quick fashion during the post-lunch session on a topsy-turvy fourth day at Headingley

A terrible mix-up between Ben Stokes and Jack Leach should have resulted in the latter being run out but Lyon fumbled at the non-striker’s end when the ball was tossed back to him.

Lyon and his 10 teammates went up for a desperate lbw appeal after the next delivery struck Stokes’ back pad, with the offspinner on his back as it was turned down by umpire Joel Wilson.

Stokes would have been out on review but Tim Paine wasted his final referral in the preceding over on a far more optimistic lbw shout from Pat Cummins

359 vs Aus Leeds 2019

Only one team had previously chased down more than 342 to win a Test in England, which coincidentally came at Headingley.

That was Don Bradman’s 1948 Ashes tourists, who sealed their invincible reputation by made a mockery of chasing 404 thanks to the captain’s unbeaten 173.

The result is a hammer blow to Australia’s confidence given pundits were calling for Joe Root to step down as captain after England’s shambolic collapse on day two.

Since 1888, no team has won a Test after being bowled out for less than 70. Lyon needed three deliveries on day four to claim the key scalp of Root then the tourists fluffed their lines with the second new ball.

Hazlewood, who finished with match figures of 9-115, shifted momentum by snapping an 86-run stand between Stokes and Jonny Bairstow.

Travis Head ran Jos Buttler out with a superb direct hit in a post-lunch collapse of 5-41 but Stokes always loomed as a potential match-winner.
