The Yorkshireman fell with 21 still needed as the third Test descended into nerve-shredding tension, but Mark Wood cut through the anxiety with a feisty 16 not out and Chris Woakes completed a remarkable return to the Test arena by crunching the winning runs towards the delirious Western Terrace to finish unbeaten on 32. Mastering the chase 378/3 v India - won by seven wickets, July 2022 299/5 v New Zealand - won by five wickets, June 2022 296/3 v New Zealand - won by seven wickets, June 2022 279/5 v New Zealand - won by five wickets, June 2022 251/7 v Australia - won by three wickets, July 2023 Under the leadership of Stokes and head coach Brendon McCullum, England have now successfully chased down five 250-plus totals in the last 13 months. Hauling down 378 against India last summer is their highest-ever chase while Stokes has admitted in the past he would cheerily see England set totals above 400 to test their limits. The magic number Rooted out Pat Cummins : 11 in 17 matches Nathan Lyon : 8 in 29 matches Mitchell Starc : 8 in 20 matches Josh Hazlewood : 8 in 16 matches Trent Boult : 7 in 14 matches Root’s record against Cummins is not quite the stranglehold Stuart Broad has over David Warner.
