Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum have led a stunning revival of England 's fortunes in Test match cricket and opener Alex Lees believes the duo are a "dream partnership".
The new coach and captain took over a side that had won just one of their last 17 Test matches and have overseen a major change in fortunes, with England unbeaten in the format so far this summer. They produced four stunning chases as they whitewashed New Zealand 3-0 and completed a record-breaking win over India.
And Lees has embraced Stokes and McCullum's new "aggressive and positive brand of cricket", notably setting the tone for the stunning India victory with a brilliant 56 off just 65 balls. "To be a part of this group of players is quite exciting as an individual and to be a part of a successful team," Lees told Mirror Sport as he took part in a media net session with Durham Cricket partners, Vertu Motors.
