England vs West Indies Highlights 8 September 2017

Stokes took his six wickets in a superb 14.3-over spell of swing bowling either side of tea, after the tourists opted to bat in overcast conditions.

He then teamed up with Dawid Malan to steady England after they had slumped to 24-4 inside 15 overs.

"He came out and batted and looked better than any of the top five," said Vaughan. "He looked in control and played a beautiful drive through extra cover.

"Not only is he important with bat and ball, but also his body language and his commitment to the team. He's a real team player and his training ethic, the approach he takes to practice, is so important for the rest of the team.

"He's a bit of a Jack the lad, he likes a laugh like his fellow all-rounders Ian Botham and Andrew Flintoff., But when he's training in the nets, he hits more balls than anyone else.

"Clearly he has a gene inside him that makes it very natural to play cricket but it's the hard work that allows him to produce these performances that we've seen throughout pretty much the whole summer."

Vaughan added Stokes would need to have "a special series" for England to win the Ashes series in Australia this winter.
