Ashes 2019: 'Greatest knock of all time, best Test ever', Twitter reacts to Ben Stokes' heroics in England's nail-biting win

Ben Stokes hit a stunning unbeaten century as England defeated Australia by one wicket to win an epic third Ashes Test at Headingley on Sunday. England, bowled out for just 67 in their first innings, needed 73 more runs to reach a victory target of 359 when last man, the bespectacled Jack Leach came into bat. But Leach held firm before Stokes hit the winning runs by flaying Pat Cummins for four that saw the all-rounder finish on 135 not out. In July, Stokes also starred for England in the ICC Cricket World Cup final against New Zealand at Lord’s after he played a knock of 84 and eventually also played a crucial role in the Super Over- Where they won in terms of boundaries scored to clinch the trophy for the first time after the Super Over scores were level. Here’s how Twitter reacted to yet another historic win for England: Invincible Stokes!

Ben Stokes scored 74 of 76 runs in the 10th wicket match-winning partnership (wide 1, Leach 1) off just 45 balls with 7 sixes and 4 fours. What a player!🙏#Ashes2019 #Ashes #ENGvAUS

What a mindblowing match this was!

Test cricket is well and truly alive!

If someone scripted that Test he or she would get an Oscar. Since it wasn’t scripted it must mean that’s one of the greatest Test matches ever. And that Test cricket is alive well and kicking #Ashes @benstokes38

What a year Stokes has had!

I’ve seen some remarkable cricket moments in my life but that is the best I’ve seen in over 50 years. @benstokes38 saved the Ashes and gave a magical inspirational innings. Even better than his World Cup performance.
Well done @ECB_cricket
