Ian Bell, under pressure due string of poor scores with the bat, silenced his critics with a composed unbeaten 65-run knock which helped England seal the third Ashes Test, take 2-1 lead.
Bell came into bat at No.3 and was very aggressive in his approach. The right-hander found the fence regularly early in his innings and put the Aussies, defending a modest total, under pressure. After Bell’s effort, Twitter lavished praise on the right-hander. Here’s a look at who said what:
BOOM – @Ian_Bell & @finnysteve on amazing performances! Legends! 2-1 is great score! Would be 3-0 if KP was playing… #BUZZING #Ashes2015
