Despite a top-order collapse, Ireland fought back with an impressive 163-run partnership between Mark Adair and Andy McBrine. They displayed their potential but fell short of victory.

 

Stokes became the first Test cricket captain to win a match without batting, bowling, or keeping. He declared the innings after the fall of the fourth wicket, denying himself and Jonny Bairstow a chance to bat.

 

This etched his name in the history books, although Stokes himself would have surely opted for another way to be in the books if given a chance.
