Manchester, July 21: England vice-captain Ben Stokes has outdone West Indies captain Jason Holder to become the world's top-ranked Test all-rounder while also attaining a career-best third position among batsmen in the latest ICC Men's Test Player Rankings, after a match-winning performance in the second Test against the West Indies at the Old Trafford.

Stokes, who trailed Holder by 54 rating points going into the second Test in Manchester, enjoys a lead of 38 points after his brilliant knocks of 176 and 78 and a match haul of three wickets helped England win on Monday by 113 runs and level the three-match series 1-1.
