Under 20 now.

It's the hope that kills you

anyone got a de-fibrillator

you watch Leach nick the winning run..

This is sensational stuff from Stokes.

Jeez. Stokes is going after Lyon. Still needs to take it easy.

kin ell.

gawd....cmon leachy.

We're playing for the ashes...

I guess playing with fire is appropriate

8 needed

Couple of blows /tickles will do it

Keep itmlow, no need for height

Fucking hell. I can't fucking take this!

lol, plumb, no review left

amazing stuff

Leach shudda gone !!

Stream keeps fucking dying!

saved the ashes at least

WHAT A FUCKING WIN!!!!!

did we get what we deserved? But frankly, who cares (c Barry Davies)

Leach has probably played the finest 1* of cricketing history

Wet tea-towel in dark room...50 stand with Leach did it.

76 stand. Slightly uneven

Wow. Just wow.

That is the most amazing knock I've ever seen. Amazing. Some of those shots were just ridiculous.

Credit to Leach too. He played his part.

From no hope to test match win. Hopefully this galvanises the team and brings up confidence and belief and I hope the Aussies feel deflated as fuck!

also got to remember his epic bowling spell which just shifted the momentum. Could be the best ton I've seen.

Jesus fuck

Someone has broken reality, cause that batting performance doesn't feel physically possible. We had no right to win that game, especially not by going to 9 down with 70-odd needed and then winning by Stokes leathering the first 3-4 balls for boundaries and then taking a single for Leach to defend 1 or 2. The control to marshall the strike so well, with the skill to manipulate the field, and the sheer talent to pull off some of those shots. It's just not possible. You do not chase down 76 with 1 wicket remaining with 6s and 4s while dominating the strike. It's just ridiculous. Plain unnatural.

I think we might consider forgiving him for his shite dismissal in the first innings now.

Indeed! He knew it as well, that spell of bowling he put in was awesome to start to make up for it.

or accept the overly attacking approach that did for him in the 1st innings is what brought him success in the 2nd
