Ashes 2019: Vote for your favourite moment from Ben Stokes’ Headingley finale
It was a finish that will never, ever be forgotten.
Ben Stokes single-handedly saving the Ashes with one of the most remarkable Test innings in history as England completed their highest-ever run chase of 359 despite at one stage being 286-9.
Stokes showed power, panache, poise and incredible clear thinking as he ended unbeaten on 135, creaming Pat Cummins for the winning boundary to take the series level at 1-1.

But what was the most memorable moment in that mesmerising 60 minutes, which culminated at 4.17pm when Stokes flayed Cummins through the covers and let out a mighty roar…
Stokes’ boundaries? Nathan Lyon’s fluffed run-out attempt? Leach’s crucial one? That not-out lbw decision from umpire Joel Wilson?
