On July 14, 2019, Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer were both involved in a famous super over success over New Zealand and one of English cricket's red letter days delivered again as the pair took England within sight of victory.

They shared four wickets as India fell to 147 for nine chasing 193, but the dogged Ravindra Jadeja looked like dragging the tourists over the line.

He made 61 not out in 181 balls but was stranded at the non-striker’s end as England snatched a 22-run triumph and a 2-1 series lead, with Bashir the unlikely matchwinner.
