McGrath says "Ben Stokes' decision not to declare earlier on day three cost them victory....England can say they were unlucky but it rained as much as was forecast." Stokes says "the weather is the reason we sit here with a draw" and "anyone who is going to question the declaration in this game probably doesn’t understand the game as well as we do"

Anyone who thinks you can lose close to two full days to rain and still get a result having “done something a bit different” is kidding themselves or being deliberately provocative for clicks. If Stokes had declared at lunch McGrath would have said the opposite.

Yup. This is what I was getting at (badly).
