This interesting one for Stokes to get his teeth into. Five and half hours to get 250 runs which is huge ask, do you treat as One day match and just go for it whacking it all over the place. Or play it safe, take your time, no risks, if you cant win don't lose and play out a draw.

There's no way that Stokes will play for the draw here, not with at least a few wickets in hand, anyway.

 

And there's no way he should, either. Four an over on this deck is perfectly possible.

There will be a point of no return, I think if he looks at the scoreboard and we're say 130-6 or summit, he'll how bad our tail is will have to make decision.

Oh, certainly, if we get to six down with limited time left then the game changes. But until then, they have to chase.

Of course whose in crease at the time. If were 130-6 and either stokes or Root were still in anything is possible.

Only chance of us winning this was for these two to take it close and maybe let Foakes see us over the line. Need to get 50 more of this partnership at least I reckon. 

 

105 is still plenty more to get. 

You are forgetting about Jack Leach!!
