England can win ashes from here: Ben strokes

Ben Stokes, the England captain, is confident that England can regain the Ashes following their three-wicket win over Australia, at Headingley. Having lost the first two Tests, England needed to win all the remaining games of the five-match series in order to win back the urn. The England captain said he had ‘no hesitation’ that they can win the series from hereon.
Since the 1936-37 series Down Under, when the Don Bradman-led Australia won the series, no team has won the Ashes after being 2-nil down. Harry Brook’s 75 helped England over the line at Leeds on the fourth day in a tricky run-chase, but they will have to beat Australia at Old Trafford and Oval in the next two games, in what has so far been a tightly-contested series, in order to make the hope come true. “Another down-to-the wire game,” Stokes admitted after the game. “Nice to get over the line and keep our hopes alive. “It is obviously really big in the context of the series. We knew we needed to win this Test to keep alive our hopes of winning the Ashes, so it’s a good win.
