Ben stokes absolutely fine as proteas spank england

It seems like you're referring to a recent cricket match between England and South Africa (Proteas)!

Ben Stokes did indeed play a crucial role in the match, but unfortunately, England didn't quite have the day they would have hoped for. The Proteas put up a strong performance, and England ultimately fell short.

If you're looking for a summary of the match, I'd be happy to provide one!
