I remember his and my disbelief at Stokes\u2019 strokes. So whilst he was -and is &#8211; a great all-rounder, his most remarkable performances have been with the bat.

Seeing Stokes go is not the news I wanted to see, but I hope he can find the peace he deserves. And maybe a hug from Jack Leach &#8211; the best batting partner he ever had. Tears, Ed Smyth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Beautifully said. And a hug being sent your way to Ed. Hope next week is a better one.<\/p>\n<footer class=\"dcr-i9zbi8\"><gu-island name=\"ShareButton\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"visible\" props=\"{&quot;size&quot;:&quot;xsmall&quot;,&quot;pageId&quot;:&quot;sport\/live\/2026\/jun\/28\/england-v-new-zealand-third-mens-cricket-test-day-four-live&quot;,&quot;hash&quot;:&quot;block-6a4138a58f08da44aac3c2d6&quot;,&quot;queryParams&quot;:{&quot;page&quot;:&quot;with:block-6a4138a58f08da44aac3c2d6&quot;},&quot;webTitle&quot;:&quot;England v New Zealand: Ben Stokes\u2019 retirement announced during day four \u2013 live&quot;,&quot;format&quot;:{&quot;design&quot;:11,&quot;display&quot;:0,&quot;theme&quot;:2},&quot;context&quot;:&quot;LiveBlock&quot;}\"><a href=\"mailto:?subject=England v New Zealand: Ben Stokes\u2019 retirement announced during day four \u2013 live&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/live\/2026\/jun\/28\/england-v-new-zealand-third-mens-cricket-test-day-four-live?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-6a4138a58f08da44aac3c2d6#block-6a4138a58f08da44aac3c2d6\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-10ju04u\">Share<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"-3 -3 30 30\" focusable=\"false\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M19 16c1.675 0 3 1.35 3 3 0 1.675-1.325 3-3 3a2.97 2.97 0 0 1-2.975-3c0-.125 0-.275.025-.375L7.1 14.15a2.9 2.9 0 0 1-2.075.825C3.325 14.975 2 13.65 2 12a3.004 3.004 0 0 1 3.025-3.025c.775 0 1.5.35 2.075.875l8.95-4.475c-.025-.1-.025-.225-.025-.4A2.966 2.966 0 0 1 19 2c1.675 0 3 1.325 3 2.975C22 6.65 20.675 8 19 8c-.8 0-1.475-.325-2.05-.825l-8.975 4.45C8 11.7 8 11.825 8 12s0 .3-.025.375l8.975 4.45c.575-.5 1.25-.825 2.05-.825m0-12.8c-.975 0-1.8.775-1.8 1.775S18.025 6.8 19 6.8c1 0 1.825-.825 1.825-1.825S20 3.2 19 3.2m0 17.6c1 0 1.825-.825 1.825-1.8 0-1-.825-1.8-1.825-1.8-.975 0-1.8.8-1.8 1.8 0 .975.825 1.8 1.8 1.8\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/gu-island><\/p>\n<p>Updated at\u00a0<time datetime=\"2026-06-28T15:18:48.000Z\" data-locale=\"en-us\" title=\"Sunday, June 28, 2026 at 11:18 AM Eastern Daylight Time\">11.18 EDT<\/time><\/p>\n<\/footer>\n<\/article>\n<article id=\"block-6a4137078f08da44aac3c2c6\" class=\"block dcr-wo4zmo\">\n<header class=\"dcr-dm96fu\">\n<h2 class=\"dcr-1pxv6ha\">Evening session<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\"><strong>83rd over: New Zealand 236-8 (Mitchell 64, Sears 5) <\/strong>Is anyone at the ground? Did they announce Stokes\u2019 retirement, or put it on the big screen? He gets a guard of honour from the England players as he walks back onto the pitch. We are still going with the old ball, but Stokes has been persuaded to give himself a break. Bashir now, enormously long legs, luxuriant hair. Mitchell hits a ball in anger, but only gets a single.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">\u201cWith the retirement of Ben Stokes, we have lost what I call one of the few super all rounders in the history of cricket,\u201d writes Nigam Nuggehalli . \u201cI define a super all rounder as a player who has won games for their country both as a bowler and as a batsman. This would include players like Stokes and Botham. Can we think of anyone else? I don\u2019t think Imran or Kapil or Kallis won a Test match for their batting alone.\u201d Hmmm, Nigam, I would need some research time \u2013 but surely Kallis did?
