Stokes' 1,060 Test runs since the start of 2019 are the second most of any player, behind only Australia's Marnus Labuschagne (1,340).

With ball in hand, only 11 players can best the England man's 25 wickets in that time.
  Mark Wood's five sixes are the most ever by an England No 10 or No 11, and more than Sachin Tendulkar (four), Don Bradman, Steve Smith or Virat Kohli (all two) have hit in a single Test innings.

  Keshav Maharaj figures of five for 180 represent South Africa's most expensive Test five-for, while no Protea has ever conceded more runs in a single innings in a home Test.
