Australia won a rancourous second Ashes 2023 Test at Lord`s on Sunday by 43 runs despite a blistering century from England captain Ben Stokes that was super-charged by the controversial dismissal of Jonny Bairstow. Stokes seemed to be pulling a stunning victory out of impending defeat for England with an astonishing 155 that echoed another unforgettable century in a thrilling fourth-innings chase to win the Ashes test at Headingley in 2019. Again, he turned hope into expectation for a sold-out crowd and helped to reduce a never-reached 371 target at Lord`s to 70. (Pic: AFP)
