New Delhi: England players Ben Duckett (50*) and Ben Stokes (29*) continued the crease as England batted at 114/4 on Day 5 of the second Test of the Ashes 2023 at Lord’s. The pair bonded a valuable partnership of 132 runs for the fifth wicket. However, as soon as Australia got rid of Duckett (83), the game started to shift in Australia’s favour.
Jonny Bairstow was also handed out after a controversial run-out decision in the 52nd over by Australian wicketkeeper Alex Carey who ran him out from behind the wickets. Stokes was annoyed by the removal and the England team or spectators were not playing good sport. Stokes then turned on his beast mode to bring his hundred.
The England skipper began attacking Cameron Green, hammering him on three bounds to begin the carnage with 178 runs to win and just four wickets to spare. In the next round, he kept hammering boundaries and three straight sixes. He was able to score 24 runs from the over which tied him for second among England batsmen in Test cricket in terms of runs scored in an over.
