Ben Stokes saw the iceberg on the horizon, and turned into it with a smile.
England's greatest showman, and the farcicial, fantastical last 24 hours of his career.

Bradley Barcola is a strong alternative for Liverpool to Diomande. Has always been high on their wish list. Barcola pushing to leave PSG. With @JacobsBen for @talkSPORT
🚨 EXCL: Yan Diomande chooses Paris Saint-Germain as next destination if he departs RB Leipzig this summer. 19yo said to believe in #PSG project led by Al-Khelaifi / Campos / Enrique + wants chance to lift trophies regularly & win Balon D’Or @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/HYUUXtCSS8
As discussed with @Richard_Mann11 on our last pod, Brook and Stokes believed not to be firm friends. Interesting he played like this when Stokes asked for hard work one last time
I can't believe what I've just witnessed at Trent Bridge. A team seemingly batting to oust its own management. A deeply dysfunctional set up. Others need to follow Stokes out the door here. Key, obviously. "Baz" can find a spare seat on his countrymen's flight home.
Thrown away a test match/series + I'm lost for words as to how this team will manage to function in the aftermath.
We've got Pakistan to play in August + we've lost our captain + all-rounder...
📍 Trent Bridge
A day that had a bit of everything. England scored at an enterprising rate but also lost four crucial wickets in the chase. They head into the final day needing another 270 runs, with plenty resting on Joe Root
One of England's all-time greatest captains, Ben Stokes, has decided to retire from international cricket at the end of this Test match.
Ben, you have been the most inspirational captain, leader and legend this team could have ever hoped for.
We love you so much and wish you all the best in your retirement ❤️
England will never be the same again.

England are now (by choice), a Reece James injury away from having to play Spence or Quansah at right-back 💀
The guy we're backing to stay fit for the entire tournament has missed 81 games for club + country over the past 3 years.
