Unbelievable bowler. One of the best there is at the minute. Missed him massively last year with his injury

Superb opening stand from Crawley and Duckett. More of that please.
Best cricketer in the world.
He's 34. England captain. Won everything.
Yet, this spring, he has sought out coaches, looked at film of himself from pre injury, re modelled his run up over hundreds of hours in the nets, and now bowls like that! ( From an interview I read this week somewhere)
He is amazing. An utter one off. If he had been England's captain last summer, we'd have won the Euros!

Piece from the excellent Tim Wigmore in The Telegraph re Stokes mental winter work.
Hasn't worked! I'll have a look later!

Excellent day's cricket yesterday. The level of India's bowling seemed to drop off a bit and we took full advantage.
Perfect morning for England. India need a monsoon now to save this.
No Stokes, no penetration. That could be a very long day tomorrow. India will fancy a draw there if they get past the new ball.
