Good to win a close one for the first time in a long time
Also include these games as well
1960 Tied test v West Indies
1982/1983 With Thommo and Captain Grumpy
1986 Tied test v India
Weve seen so many near misses in our time Ambays- yes it gets the chimpanzee of our back
For such a great cricket team those losses have created a scar
This win was dejavu
At Headingly Lyon had a review burnt, then missed a run out chance to get Stokes out
Last night Stokes dropped Lyon , early in his innings
Revenge is sweet
I stayed up and watched every ball of this enthralling test
Amazing last day in the field, Stokes just about did everything I would not have done if I was captain
If he holds that catch- England almost certainly wins
In the end Stokes blokes played well-- I reckon a TIE would have been a fair result
