17... h5
The counter begins with an attack on the light squared bishop.

 
18. Be6
Safe bishop position.

 
18... Rd8
Black tries to claim the d file.

 
19. Rd1
Protect the d pawn

 
19... Rd6
Bringing the lsb under attack again.

 
20. f5
Protecting the lsb, simultaneously allowing greater freedom to the dsb, particularly making a pin of the rook possible unless action is taken to prevent.

 
20... Nb4
Pushing forward with the knight; considering a fork on the king and dsb??

 
21. Bf4
Remove the fork and most importantly pinning the rook. The rook is gone now. Black resigned here. The game was far from over though and I feel had black continued it might have turned into an interesting end game.
