The first 70-odd balls Stokes faced at Headingley 2019 showed flawless temperament.
I can only guess Stokes enjoys cricket so much, he prefers biffing a quick 20/30(?), especially if he only has the tail with him,
or,
the pressure of bowling at Test level left him drained of the required concentration.
A slow 50+ here, as the anchor to Crawley, Root, Brook & Bairstow will be a fine bookend to this series.

Yeah, definitely has the technique and timing. Temperament I'm less sure about.
