Jofra Archer May have the X factor as they say, but Ben Stokes is a complete cricketer. Absolutely first rate.

Okay, so if England can limit the Aussies to around 180 in the second innings and have to chase less than 300, i reckon we'll get them!

From being bowled out for 67 and looking beaten.... a comeback that will be as legendary as Headingley 1981.

I’ve only really started watching cricket this year, I never thought it would be entertaining. But Jesus was I wrong, between this and the World Cup it’s been bloody sensational!

Stokes will rightly get all the plaudits, but Leach’s resistance and mental strength was equally as important.

Absolutely shocking review by the Australians cost them, maybe they can blame Jason Pearce.

Incredible and I missed it I stopped watching it when 9 down choosing to watch the city bore fest. I still cant believe it how was that possible. I will still enjoy watching endless repeats

This is not the time for bickering.

Remember where you were when this happened, this is comparable to 81, and again at Headingley.

Still stunned!

Problem is, the ECB, in my opinion, doesn’t rate county cricket anymore (the schedule for 2020 backs that up) and this 100 big bash competition looks like more quick gratification for both a young market and the coffers.

Still, we may just pull this off today/tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

Unbelievable, especially when we were 9 down. Ben Stokes what a legend. His bowling during the Australian second innings shouldn't be down played as well. He put in a long shift and nipped a couple out as well.

Sport, eh?

Often read that it's "not as important as real life". Well imo that's just plain wrong. It's as real as anything else, and can unite people (or divide them) in ways which would be hard to replicate in any other context

The sporting behaviour of the Aussies in defeat was exemplary. They knew they'd simply been part of something very special, and were willing to feel proud of their role in it whilst they must be hurting

Ben Stokes - vilified by many as the unacceptable face of English sport. Withdrawn from the England squad until his court case was completed. During those bleak months, he must've told himself time and again - if he ever got the chance again, he'd go to the limits of sporting endeavour to try and redeem himself

And how. First, the World Cup final, when it looked unlikely. Today, keeping our Ashes hopes alive, when it seemed impossible

As a metaphor for rising from the gutter to achieve true greatness, his is an object lesson to be told down the ages. It's sport, but it could apply to "real life" too. That's why we treasure it

Watched it live, watched the C5 highlights and just watched it again on Sky.......Guess what, my heart was still pounding as those last few overs were bowled....Only sport can do this, you live every ball and every run...That is as real life as it gets,

I’m with you there. You half expect the the dropped catch to be taken, and the stumps smashed at the fumbled run out, during every viewing.

Can’t get over how good that was from both Stokes and Leach. Stokes with the shots and Leach taking a chamois to his lenses.

As was rightly discussed on The Debate by Willis and Stewart, this result should be celebrated and then a long hard look at the batting line up should take place to ensure we have more second innings than first going forward.

Oh and Lancs won. Again.

Great day for North West cricket fans.

They aren’t’ bad? That’s like saying bury aren’t skint.

They are bloody awful....setting records for all time futility.

Yes they won the beer and skittles, despite losing to all sorts and a quirky decision in the final that has since been acknowledged to have been an error.

They are consistently failing to get even reasonable scores.

Time to burn some more bails.


Good job a Test match isn't decided on one innings, isn't it?

Undoubted knowledge? Or just the application of common sense and using my brain?

Haha shows what I know doesn't it?
Can't wait for the next test.
Reminds me vividly of 1981 when Botham, after his heroics at Headingley, scored another fine hundred at Old Trafford.
