- BATSMENRB4s6sSR27.4 nicks him off! Angling across the left-hander, shapes to drive, outside edge through to a tumbling Smith 120/311.5 dug in short, angling across the left-hander, and pulled to Atkinson at midwicket 47/117.3 back-of-a-length ball from around the wicket, pulled to Archer at square leg. Stokes stands there in disbelief 61/240.1 shortish ball on the hip, pulled firmly by Cox but straight down long leg's throat 168/442.3 back of a length, keeps a touch low as Rehan drags it round the corner to Archer in the deep 181/572.1 wide on the crease, length ball angling down the leg side which Jacks slog-sweeps straight to Archer in the deep. Stokes laughs and puts his hands on his hips after one of the stranger six-fors you'll see 322/867.4 nicked off! Wide on the crease, a bit of lift from a length and takes the teenager's outside edge 310/668.3 back of a length, angling down the leg side. Chipped up to Pope at midwicket. Stokes has five! 311/779.3 gives himself room outside leg stump but Archer follows him with a sharp short ball. Potts tries to heave it leg-side, but a steepling top-edge loops up to Brook, back-pedalling from slip towards short third 382/1076.5 lobs one up above the eyeline, which Fisher swings down the ground and picks out Tongue in the deep 342/9Extras22 (b 4, lb 4, nb 14)TOTAL382 all out (79.3 Overs, RR: 4.8)Fall of wickets: 1-47 (Tom Haines, 11.5 ov), 2-61 (Jacob Bethell, 17.3 ov), 3-120 (Ben McKinney, 27.4 ov), 4-168 (Jordan Cox, 40.1 ov), 5-181 (Rehan Ahmed, 42.3 ov), 6-310 (Thomas Rew, 67.4 ov), 7-311 (Tom Lawes, 68.3 ov), 8-322 (Will Jacks, 72.1 ov), 9-342 (Matthew Fisher, 76.5 ov), 10-382 (Matthew Potts, 79.3 ov)
