Ben Stokes wanted his team to score 450 runs

England seems to be at its best performance under the Ben Stokes-Brendon McCullum tenure. They have won their last 4 Test matches, scoring more than 250 runs in each of them. Their latest addition to the wins in their triumph was against India where England chased 378, defeating India by 7 wickets. After winning the match, Ben Stokes made a bold statement when he said that he wanted India to set a target of 450 to see the capability of his team. 

He also added that he wanted his side to get 450 to see what they could do. Also, since other teams have seen England's recent performances, he said that they would be worried about their next play. He said that teams do not know how to play their third innings, especially when they have a lead.
