Joe Root’s brilliant 150 and Ben Stokes’ unbeaten 77 propelled England to a 186-run lead over India on Day 3 of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test at Old Trafford

Ben Stokes’ first five-for in eight years and a dominant 166-run stand between Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley helped England take control against India on day two of the fourth Test

England captain Ben Stokes praised his team’s skill and mindset after a record fourth-innings chase to defeat India in the first Test at Leeds. He credited Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley’s opening stand and hailed Josh Tongue’s game-changing spells.

Anderson delivered an outstanding spell, bowling 28 dot balls in his first 30 deliveries and finishing the day with figures of 10-5-11-2, leaving West Indies in a struggle.

Hussain stated that the reason James Anderson and R Ravichandran Ashwin are two of the greatest players in the game today is because they are constantly striving for improvement.

'Ignore 'Bazball' at your own peril'  However, Stokes did not see the series defeat as a failure of the cricketing ethos that England have been following under him and coach Brendon McCullum.

Stokes has been dismissed twice in four innings of the two Tests so far by Bumrah, who has cleaned up the southpaw on both instances.

Jasprit Bumrah bowled a jaffa to rattle the stumps of the first match's hero Ollie Pope who got dismissed for 23 runs in the 28th over of England's first innings of the second test match being played in Visakhapatnam.

Ahead of the second Test, Stokes talked about how the pitch could act over the course of five days on the eve of the second clash. "It might be a good wicket for maybe a day or two.

Fuelled by Ollie Pope's epic 196 and debutant left-arm spinner Tom Hartley's seven-wicket haul, England roared back into the match even after conceding a massive 190-run first innings lead.

He didn't look comfortable and head coach Rahul Dravid, wasn't forthcoming about the extent of the damage.

I don't think we are unbeatable. We don't want to think like that. But whatever past records that we have over the last decade or so, do not guarantee that we will come out on top in this series, said Rohit

Ambati Rayadu, who retired from IPL after the 2023 title win, has also been released.

Another star player, Joe Root has struggled in the powerplays and he fails to up the attack.

New Zealand will step out on the field to take revenge for the Cricket World Cup 2019 final which they had lost in the Super Over.

Stokes did not take part in either of England's two warm-up matches but for Buttler that is not a concern.

The experienced all-rounder, who returned from ODI retirement to support his team in the ICC Cricket World Cup, achieved this milestone during the 3rd ODI against New Zealand on Wednesday.

New Zealand was on top after removing Joe Root for 6 to leave England 101-3 in the 21st over but Stokes and Buttler, who was the top scorer with 72 off 68 balls on his 33rd birthday, steadied the innings with a partnership of 88.

Ben Stokes has hinted that he may undergo knee surgery post-World Cup later this year which could rule him out of their tour of India between January and March 2024

"It's excellent news on all fronts, it's great for cricket to have a superstar like Ben Stokes in a World Cup," Buttler was quoted as saying by Skysports.
