England began the second day by removing the final wicket in Australia’s first innings. However, they were bowled out for just 164 in the second innings. Head scored a brilliant century and sealed a victory for the home team. It was a tough day for Stokes, as he couldn’t make an impact on the match with bat or ball.
"Little bit shellshocked. Pretty phenomenal from Head. Pretty raw, pretty emotional, but that was some knock. The guys who had success were really brave and took the game on. If you find yourself in the position of getting in, you have to try and go on," Stokes said.
