England Test captain Ben Stokes attained a bizarre record of becoming the first skipper in 145-year Test history to win a match without batting, bowling or keeping wickets.

England beat Ireland by ten wickets on day three of the only Test between both teams at the Lord’s after Zak Crawley smashed the first three balls of England’s second innings to complete 12 runs and take the game home.
