WATCH: 2 in 2! Ben Stokes does damage with ball after stunning performance with bat

New Delhi: Ben Stokes is unarguably the finest all-rounder in modern-day cricket, and the Englishman proved his worth yet again with a highly impressive performance, both with bat and ball, in the ongoing third Test against South Africa.

Stokes took two wickets in two balls to leave England eyeing victory at stumps on Day 4 of third Test in London.

South Africa were 117 for four at stumps on the fourth day, needing a further 375 runs to reach a colossal target of 492.

The 100th Test at The Oval was turning into a personal triumph for Stokes after he laid the platform for England`s dominant position with 112 in a first-innings total of 353.

Proteas dangerman Quinton de Kock only managed five before he was bowled by an excellent Stokes yorker.
