Stokes bowling really well here.

Just ever so slightly too wide to Dhawan that over. Nice movement away from the cack hander, but it'd be nice if Jimmeh could bring the odd one in to keep him honest.

Granted I'm only following this on cricinfo, but I'm swayed by the fact that Dawan only had to play at 2 out of 6. And I'm guessing that Jimmy's bowled at left-handers before.

Would give Moeen a quick go at Dhawan, see if he can trap him or get one to spin.

Yeah good call I reckon.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Dhawan has no trigger movement at all, it seems. Lovely to watch.

 

[Hurricane]

Brilliant batting by Dhawan so far. I like a good leave and he has done plenty.

I read this as Morkel at first and got so confused.

It seems weird when a South African doesn't play for England, I know.

 

[Cevno]

Damn, good catch.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Jesus that's a grab; Dhawan absolutely smoked it.

About the worst ball Stokes has bowled too.

 

[wpdavid]

He deserved that. A terrific spell to date.

 

[91Jmay]

Stokes knack of getting wickets with **** balls is becoming a thing I think.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Needed that, some catch.

 

[bagapath]

just heard harsha complain that isa gives wasim akram more attention. I want to take a uk visa, borrow money, book economy ticket, fly to England, take a cab to Lords, bribe my way into the press box, grab bhogle by his fake hair and punch him hard. mother f***r!

 

[BoyBrumby]

So we're all giving credit to Bell for bringing Stokes on, yeah?

FFS Broad. Short ball. WHY DO YOU ALWAYS DO THIS.

 

[Jono]

Huge huge wicket. Particularly since every run counts double now

BCCI big fans of the "away runs rule", as one understands.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Cricket is so odd and unfair, sometimes. Stokes has been great so far and his only wicket was from a rank half-tracker.

 

[MW1304]

Broad the very definition of mercurial. When he manages to engage his brain he is as deadly as anyone else in the world, otherwise he is about as thick as anyone else in the world. Didn't you learn that you're better bowling it full, what, like 3 years ago now?

 

[BoyBrumby]

2009, IMHO. His spell at The Oval basically won The Ashes. Full, deific, job's a good 'un.

S'not fecking rocket surgery, is it?
