THE STORY
During the third Ashes Test at Headingley, Leeds, in August 2019, Australia dismissed England for 67 in the first innings, leading by 112 runs. Captain Tim Paine chose not to enforce the follow-on, opting to bat again. England subsequently chased down a target of 359, with Ben Stokes scoring an unbeaten 135, resulting in a one-wicket victory that leveled the series 1-1.
