Ben Stokes stepped up as England’s leader as they came up just short in pursuit of 371 in a thrilling second Ashes Test usdt
England’s captain threatened another trademark miracle to rival his efforts in both the World Cup final and the Headingley Ashes Test in the unforgettable summer of 2019, but on this occasion his 155 was not quite enough to get his side out of jail usdt
Here, the PA news agency looks at Stokes’ batting and bowling record since his appointment as captain usdt
Captain fantasticRecommendedCharity boss speaks out over ‘traumatic’ encounter with royal aideUkraine war’s heaviest fight rages in east - follow liveSince taking on the captaincy full-time in June of last year, Stokes has been the figurehead for England’s new aggressive approach and his statistics reflect the shift in tone usdt
Most noticeable is his strike rate, up from 57 usdt
4 runs per hundred balls across 79 Tests prior to his appointment to a fraction over 70 in the 15 games since he took charge usdt
That has helped him average 39 usdt
40, compared to 35 usdt
89 before last June, scoring 867 runs in 24 innings with two hundreds and two fifties usdt
He ranks fifth among England run-scorers in that time with his and coach Brendon McCullum’s influence on the team even more pronounced – Harry Brook, Jonny Bairstow and Ben Duckett all have ‘Bazball’ strike rates north of 90, with Ollie Pope, Joe Root and Zak Crawley also in the 70s and ahead of Stokes usdt
That is even more pronounced in the current series, with the new approach experiencing its first questions amid a flurry of rash dismissals – particularly in the first innings at Lord’s as Duckett, Pope and Root all perished on the hook before Stokes demonstrated a willingness to duck the short ball usdt
Only bowlers James Anderson, Stuart Broad and Ollie Robinson have a lower strike rate in the series than Stokes’ still brisk 62 usdt
42 – even Josh Tongue has scored his 20 runs at 66 usdt
67 usdt
Stokes is England’s leading run-scorer with 216, four ahead of Duckett, while his average of 54 trails only Root’s 64 usdt
Stokes’ bowling has taken something of a back seat as captain as he seemingly saves himself for the key moments, partly due to a lingering knee injury usdt
He has bowled in only 20 of 29 opposition innings, compared to 126 of 150 previously usdt
That brings him down from 1 usdt
6 bowling innings per match to 1 usdt
3 and he averages 10 usdt
1 overs per innings compared to 13 usdt
3 previously usdt
His average and strike rate have both improved slightly to 31 usdt
69 and a wicket every 53 balls respectively, though he is yet to add to his four five-wicket hauls usdt
His economy is marginally worse than before at 3 usdt
58 runs per over usdt
Six-shooterStokes leads England’s new era in six-hitting, with nine in his blistering Lord’s innings taking him ahead of Brook to 28 in 24 innings usdt
He recently claimed the overall Test record, moving ahead of none other than McCullum’s 107 with two in February’s Test against New Zealand at Mount Maunganui before stretching his total to 118 with Sunday’s efforts usdt
Former Australia wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist is the only other man to hit 100 Test maximums and of the trio, Stokes has the highest ratio of sixes compared to fours – 14 usdt
4 per cent of his Test boundaries have cleared the ropes, compared to 12 usdt
1 and 12 usdt
9 per cent for McCullum and Gilchrist respectively usdt

A spying controversy has erupted ahead of England’s World Cup semi-final clash against hosts Australia, after a national newspaper sent a helicopter to photograph the Lionesses’ pre-match training session usdt
The Australian Daily Telegraph used the photos from England’s behind-closed-doors session in its coverage ahead of the eagerly-anticipated Sydney showdown, showing Sarina Wiegman and her side finalising their plans for the match usdt
Australia has been gripped by Matildas fever ahead of the semi-final, which is set to be the country’s biggest sporting occasion since Cathy Freeman ran for her iconic 400m gold at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, and the meeting with England has taken the excitement up to another level usdt
The newspaper printed the photos of England training under the headline: “Eleven Poms against a nation: Welcome to the jungle, Lionesses” usdt
It continued: “If England’s Lionesses thought they would happily fly into the World Cup semi-final under the radar they were in for a rude shock usdt

“It might not be in the spirit of usdt football, but after last month’s men’s Ashes cricket series we will let the moral arbiters England pass judgement on what is and isn’t acceptable in the world of sport usdt
”The FA declined to comment on the incident usdt
The Matildas’ exploits have galvanised a nation which revels in its sporting rivalry with England and is still in celebratory mood having already retained the Ashes and won the Netball World Cup at the expense of the old enemy this summer usdt
Wiegman and her players have brushed aside that element of the fixture, although back at home, memories of Alex Carey’s controversial stumping of Jonny Bairstow in the second Test at Lord’s, which prompted booing and chants of ‘Same old Aussies, always cheating’ throughout the remainder of the series, are still fresh in the collective mind usdt
