Yeah, Ben Stokes at Headingly! 135 not out and scored all but 1 run from the 73 runs needed for victory ! That England no. 11 was Jack Leach who was 1* not out but see out 17 balls to protect his wicket so that Stokes could do the hitting ! Ben Stokes was the cricketer of the year that year after also leading England to the World Cup beating the Kiwis in that unbelievable final in a Super Over !
