Test of the 4th Ind VS Eng: Ben Stokes has become magnificent Fifer, reached a milestone for the first time in 8 years | Cricket news
Ben Stokes made an astonishing change at Old Trafford Thursday, producing an impeccable bowling alley to record its first transport of five counters in test cricket since 2017. The captain of England led from the front in the fourth test against India, claiming 5 for 72 out of 24 oblies to dismantle the visitors of the middle and the bottom of the order in Manchester. Stokes struck on the first day 1 with a crucial blow, trapping the captain of India Shubman Gill LBW for 12 with a delivery which struck suddenly. He followed him with the counter of a well and well -put Southharsan Sai, who had fought a patient 61 before Brydon Carse attracted him. In resumption of day 2, Stokes continued his relentless fate. He removed Shardul Thakur, forcing a safe shot by Ben Duckett. In the 110th, Stokes delivered the direct elimination stroke while rejected Washington Sundar and the beginner Anshul Kamboj in the three balls. Kamboj’s dismissal sealed the milestone of Stokes. Its delivery has taken the slightest advantage and was taken properly by goalkeeper Jamie Smith. The scalp spoke of the fifth transport of the five stakes of Stokes during tests, and its first in more than eight years, with its latest coming to Lord’s in 2017 against the Antilles.
The ardent 34 -year -old fate highlighted its importance for the side of England, not only as a leader, but as a bowling player capable of changing the situation. It was also a continuation of its stellar shape with the ball of the previous test.
