Watch: Newly Appointed England Test Skipper Ben Stokes Hits 5 Back-To-Back Sixes In A Single Over To Reach 64-Ball Century For Durham In County Cricket
In his first innings in county cricket after being appointed as the England Test skipper, Ben Stokes blasted his way to a 64-ball century for his county side Durham against Worcestershire at New Road on Friday. Stokes reached his hundred in scintillating fashion as he hit five back-to-back sixes off Josh Baker in a single over to reach the three-figure mark. Stokes took on the bowlers and suddenly switched gears after reaching his half-century in 47 balls and needed just 17 deliveries more to score the next 50 runs. Stokes came in at number six and batted with complete positive intent right from the word go.
