76.1
Stokes to Rahul, no run, short of length and sliding down leg, flicks a bit of his thigh pad on its way through and there's a big appeal for caught behind from England, Stokes deliberates and decides against the review.

72.1
4
Stokes to Rahul, FOUR, that's a top shot! Length delivery outside off, width on offer and Rahul crunches it away with a sublime back-foot punch, into the gap and it races away
46.6
Stokes to Rahul. no run, short of length delivery outside off stump, KL lets it go
46.5
Stokes to Rahul, no run, ouch! Hit on the box. Short of a length delivery on the stumps, KL looks to pull off the back foot, under edge and then onto the box. That has hurt him and he takes a moment to gather himself back. Rishabh goes and talks to KL, who is fine to carry on
46.4

44.1
4
Stokes to Rahul, FOUR, oh shottt! That is the shot of the morning. Stokes kept this around off stump, KL leans slightly forward, let this full delivery come, covered the outswing and gave the full face of the bat as he punched the drive to the right of cover. Man, this guy is all class
42.6
Stokes to Rahul, no run, oh almost tricked him into playing the drive this time. It's full again, seemed like the slower ball again, KL lets it go
42.5
Stokes to Rahul, no run, the follow up is a sucker full drive ball, KL shows his experience and stays calm with a leave
42.4
Stokes to Rahul, no run, oh thuds the glove and drops in front of gully. Surprise short ball that jumped on the batter, KL went back, dropped the hand off the handle to soften the blow, which ensured the ball didn't carry to Duckett who was waiting to swallow
42.3
Stokes to Rahul, no run, beaten, nah that's one of KL's leaves! Good length delivery angling in, KL tucks his bat behind and lets it go
42.2

Stokes to Rahul, no ball, short of length delivery outside off stump, KL mistimes cut and the man at cover stops the ball overhead
42.1
Stokes to Pant, 1 run, oh uppish guide but no one at backward point to catch that. Short of a length delivery angling in, Pant was looking to place it square but middle it well. The ball went off the bottom of the bat
40.6
Stokes to Pant, no run, defended to the on-side
40.5
4
Stokes to Pant, FOUR, 136ks and it's an outside edge that rolls to the third man fence. Soft-handed defence with a slightly angled bat, ball rolls along the ground off the thick edge and third man was wide. A good ball, a false shot going to the boundary will annoy Stokes
40.4
Stokes to Pant, no run, another slower ball to see what Pant does, but it was down leg so was of no use
40.3
Stokes to Pant, no run, full and luring him for a big shot, was the slower ball, Pant gets low and literally presses that into the pitch
40.2
Stokes to Rahul, 1 run, bowls at the body so KL clips this short of length delivery off the hips to backward square leg
40.1
Stokes to Rahul, no run, shaping away with some width and asking for a loose shot away from the body. KL stays compact at the crease as he leaves
38.6
Stokes to Rahul, no run, oh extra bounce and away seam movement. That's too much movement and not going to get any batter out. KL smiles at that unplayable ball. Probably hit a crack from back of a length and took off with away swing, beat KL by a distance as he was looking to play initially
38.5
Stokes to Rahul, no run, full and asking for the drive. KL covers the poles and shoulders arms to annoy the bowler
38.4
Stokes to Rahul, no run, good length delivery just outside off stump, KL rises tall to punch off the back foot but mistimes as the ball kept coming in and cramping him for room
38.3
Stokes to Rahul, no run, now a yorker tailing into KL, dug out to cover. Came off the bottom of the bat
38.2
Stokes to Pant, 1 run, round the wicket and a yorker outside off stump, Pant digs out to backward points, speeds for the first run to see if there's a second he could steal but it was too risky

36.2
Stokes to Rahul, no run, good length delivery just outside off, watchfully left, that wasn't far from off-stump. That angled in and shaped away, very disciplined leave that

22.4
Stokes to Gill, no run, full and in the corridor of uncertainty, moves away, this time a good leave
22.3
Stokes to Gill, no run, beauty! But Gill flirted at it away from the body before belatedly pulling the bat away, rising short of length delivery and it angled in and then moved away, Gill is lucky not to nick it
22.2
Stokes to Gill, no run, again down leg, poor delivery, length and easy leave for Gill as Jamie Smith again dives to his left to take it
22.1
Stokes to Gill, no run, short of length down leg, Gill flicks and misses, Jamie Smith dives to his left to take it, a couple of the slips were interested, but there was nothing
20.6
4
Stokes to Gill, FOUR, four to Gill to start off. A rising short of length delivery outside off, no third man and it's such a safe shot, Gill cuts up and over the slip cordon. Stokes is not happy with himself at all, kicks the turf in disgust
20.5
W
Stokes to Sai Sudharsan, out Caught by Crawley!! Stokes does it for England. A grimace from Sai Sudharsan as he walks off. he was loking good but has fallen to the trap on the flick. Stokes points at Crawley as if this was a well-set plan. The inswinger and full on the stumps, Sudharsan flicks and doesn't keep it down, straight and low to Crawley at mid-wicket. That drop by Duckett at backward point doesn't cost England much. And how many times does Stokes keep doing this - producing wickets out of nowhere! Sai Sudharsan c Crawley b Stokes 30(48) [4s-4]
20.4
4
Stokes to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, this is where he is so good. Anything on the pads and angling in, he doesn't miss out. Neatly tucks the inswinger on the pads to the deep backward square-leg fence

18.3
Stokes to Rahul, no run, full outside off, was there for the big drive, Rahul gets forward to drive and the thick inside-edge hits the body, so easily could have dragged it back on, also he got out similarly in the first innings, chasing a wide delivery and edging it to first slip
18.2
Stokes to Rahul, no run, on a length just outside off, angles in and moves away, left alone
18.1

Stokes to Sai Sudharsan, no run, down leg, no shot and Stokes is not happy with that delivery

4
Stokes to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, nicely played. Full outside off, angling away well from the left-hander, Sai Sudharsan gets forward and pushes it into the ground, bounces wide of the dive of Carse at backward point and runs away, well in control there was Sudharsan
14.5
Stokes to Sai Sudharsan, no run, third one down leg, this is a short of length delivery and Sai Sudharsan again doesn't play a shot. Definitely a ploy then this from Stokes
14.4

14.3
Stokes to Sai Sudharsan, no run, full and down leg, swings further away, left alone
