Ben Stokes’ man-of-the-match performance against the West Indies has catapulted him to the top of the International Cricket Council’s Test all-rounder rankings as well as a career-best third in the batting standings.

Stokes was at the heart of England’s series-levelling win against the West Indies at Old Trafford that ended on Monday, scoring 176 and 78 not out as well as taking three wickets.

Those performances were enough to see him leapfrog West Indies Captain Jason Holder, who had been at number one for 18 months.

Stokes is the first England cricketer to top the all-rounder charts since Andrew Flintoff in May 2006.
