Incredible scenes. When Root went at 56-3 our chances didn’t look great, but clearly Bairstow and Stokes downed 10 Red Bulls each at tea.
Jonny's gone.

Truly an historic innings
England 272-5, needing 25 more to win.
A wonderful innings, worth the admission fee alone.
No idea how many Tests have been won by the side batting 2nd with the opponents having scored 550+ in their 1st innings.
Bairstow / Stokes partnership.
179 runs from 20.1 overs.
No idea how many Tests have been won by the side batting 2nd with the opponents having scored 550+ in their 1st innings.
I can certainly remember England doing it - in Adelaide in 2006 when they collapsed in the third innings
