Ben Stokes resumed Day 4 on 77 off 134 balls. The southpaw had formed a crucial partnership with Joe Root, who brought up his 38th Test century on Day 3. Notably, Stokes left the field due to cramps after the 116th over but returned to continue his innings following the dismissal of Chris Woakes.
Stokes removed his helmet, looked skyward, and paid tribute to his late father with a hand gesture. This was his first Test century in nearly three years. The Old Trafford crowd gave him a standing ovation as he celebrated the moment.
He joins an elite group that includes Gus Atkinson (vs Sri Lanka, Lord’s 2024), Tony Greig (vs West Indies, Bridgetown 1974), and Ian Botham, who managed the double five times in his career.

Ben Stokes has now joined Sobers & Kallis as just the third player in Test history to score 7k runs & take 200 wickets. A remarkable feat, delicious enough to annoy the right people. #EngvInd
