Ben Stokes makes dramatic retirement 
England captain Ben Stokes made the dramatic decision Sunday to announce his imminent retirement from international cricket midway through the deciding third test against New Zealand.

"This is my last two days as your captain and my last two days representing England," Stokes told his England teammates inside the dressing room at the start of play at Trent Bridge on Day 4, in a video released on social media by England Cricket. The match is headed to a fifth and final day Monday, with the series on the line at 1-1. The shocking announcement came 15 minutes before the tea break.
