It was the day that Ben Stokes blazed his way into the Lord's history books.

The Durham all-rounder smashed the fastest ever Test century at HQ off just 85 balls as England mounted a stunning comeback on day four of the first Test against New Zealand.

In the latest edition of the Sky Cricket Podcast, Ian Ward catches up with Stokes to get his reflections on an incredible knock and how it has helped transform the balance of the match.

We also get the thoughts of former skipper Nasser Hussain, who has plenty to say about Stokes and England skipper Alastair Cook, who finished the day unbeaten on 153.

Hussain also runs the rule over another magnificent knock from the prolific Joe Root as well as New Zealand’s bowlers, and has a few thoughts on how Arsenal’s season ended.
