England captain Alastair Cook has hailed Ben Stokes after the all-rounder took crucial wickets to give his team a 22-run victory over Bangladesh in Chittagong.
The hosts needed 33 runs to win their first ever Test match over England, while Cook's men required two wickets to rescue the match.
It took half an hour to wrap up the contest as Stokes trapped Taijul Islam and Shafiul Islam lbw in three balls.
"I say it every single time we speak about him, the guy is that X-factor cricketer which every side would love to have," PA quotes Cook as saying. "He balances our side, he gives us options.
"The one thing he has done over the last year is improve his method against spin. I don't want to say I'm surprised but it surprised me how well he scored that hundred [in the ODI series], it just showed what a lot of hard work can do and he can take a lot of credit for that."
During the five-day Test, a record 26 decisions were reviewed.
