  • 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.

  • I know he can do the patient innings building thing. I just don't think he really likes doing it.

    Would take a slow, steady 50+ here definitely. There's plenty of time left in the game despite the threatened weather.
