Stokes calls on England to adapt | And email Rob
53rd over: India 226-3 (Gill 63, Pant 5) Laughable cricket from Rishabh Pant, who charges his second ball and smears it back over Stokes’ head for four. Stokes bursts out laughing at the audacity and says something to Pant. I’m 99.94 per cent it was a friendly chat. But in 2025, who knows anything.
Ben Stokes has bowled Yashasvi Jaiswal with a beauty. It was angled in from round the wicket and straightened sharply to rattle the off stump as Jaiswal pushed down the wrong line. Yeah, that’s a serious delivery.
Jaiswal receives a fine hand on his way off, and quite right too: he made a sparkling 101 from 159 balls, with 14 fours and a six. Dukes ball my derriere.
