The veteran pacer James Anderson has praised Ben Stokes for his all-round abilities, which paved the way for England to secure a dominating victory against South Africa. 

Stokes led from the front to deliver a knock of 113 off 163 balls and took a total of four wickets to help the Three Lions to win by an innings and 85 runs and level the series 1-1. 

In particular, the skilful all-rounder dismissed Keegan Petersen and Rassie Van Der Dussen, who added 87 runs for the fourth wicket in the second innings. 

Their wickets opened the floodgates for England to wrap up the tail in quick time and win by a significant margin.

Anderson hailed Stokes' work ethic for contributing to the team in crunch moments.
