William Wilberforce...

I was here - outside the house of William Wilberforce in Hull, waiting for a photogenic couple to complete the shot - when Ben Stokes was hitting the winning runs in the Headingley test match. It was such an unlikely victory. Out of the seventy runs required when last man Jack Leach joined Stokes at the wicket, Leach scored just one run. But he kept his wicket intact while Stokes blazed away at the other end. It was a game to rival the best test matches of all time (including Headingley 1981), and it keeps the Ashes alive...
