Ben Stokes surpassed Brendon McCullum's world record for number of sixes in Test cricket on the third day of England's match against New Zealand.
Stokes arrived at the crease with England still in need of more runs to build their lead having lost Harry Brook and Joe Root just before the tea break.
Unsurprisingly, it didn't take long for him to go on the attack, and the hosts opted to target the England captain with the short ball.
Never one to shy away from a challenge, Stokes went for a hook shot off Scott Kuggeleijn and nailed it over the fine leg boundary for a maximum.
That six was the 108th of his Test career, and he was fully aware of the landmark as he burst into a smile following confirmation of the record.
