Ben Stokes 20(52)

64.5
W
Siraj to Stokes, out Caught by Pant!! Siraj has got the England captain. He roars and says come onnn! Stokes knows he's played a bad shot. Throws his bat up in disappointment, catches and clutches it between his jaw and chest as he walks back. Silly mid-off on, so that rules out the off-drive for Stokes. Siraj stayed round the wicket and angled this length delivery in, got it to nip away as Stokes wanted to play squarer. Tried to run it towards point. Instead he's found a thick edge through to Pant. Big wicket this as the partnership was growing strong. Stokes c Pant b Siraj 20(52) [4s-3]
