    If England hadn't won that it would've hurt so much given all the opportunities they had earlier in the Test.

    Now it's just a totally different feel. Out of nowhere.

  3. Different Stokes

    Enjoy...

    The Australia fans are streaming to the exits. They are stunned.

  7. The state of play

    The Ashes is locked at 1-1 with two Tests to play.

    LOVELY STUFF.

    We can park that feature on 'How England threw away the Ashes' and how they need to make eight changes for Old Trafford.

    Ben Stokes and Joe Root have known each other since they were kids. That hug in the middle of the square brings a tear to the eye.

    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    The bit that got me in that innings - we know about his power, but after he hit two sixes in a row, he spotted the field had dropped deep so just knocked it into a gap for two.

    That presence of mind, that clarity of thought is astonishing.

    Steve Rossiter: Ben Stokes...Holy Smokes...what a player!!

  11. All credit to the Australians, who lined up to a man to shake Ben Stokes' hand as he came off the pitch.

    Test cricket has its issues. Its detractors. But that was as good as sport gets.

  12. Alastair Cook
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    No.

  13. Glenn McGrath
    Ex-Australia bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    What a class cricketer Ben Stokes is. Amazing with bat, ball and in the field.

    Is there a better all-rounder in the world right now?

  14. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport at Headingley

    The kitchen staff at Headingley are crying!

  15. Those last few overs had everything. And I thought the World Cup final was a decent finish.

    Ben Stokes was so out lbw. And Australia had no reviews left.

    Nathan Lyon should have had a run out tooo. England took the luck as it came.

  16. Glenn McGrath
    Ex-Australia bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    That is an amazing innings from Ben Stokes.

    It was a poor finish from an Australian perspective.

    That wasted review lost them the Test.

  18. Jack Leach scored one run in a match-winning partnership of 76.

    SEVENTY-SIX

    Jack Leach has probably not had this many hugs in his life. His glasses will be steamed up now.

  20. Alastair Cook
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    To do that after the World Cup final. Those are once in a lifetime innings.

    And he's done two in six weeks.
