00:00yeah 200
00:10well they're pretty confident the Indians are interesting to see
00:17oh that's a lovely shot
00:22great intent from Stokes as he chipped down the track and hits it on the up
00:30more runs on the onside this time, just a single
00:43that's dribbling, was in the air for a bit but it's disappeared to the fence
00:52nicely played and in the gap for four
00:57he was in total control of the shot
01:03this one Keplow, right through the defense
01:10hit him for pace as well, it ended up hitting the top of off-stump
01:15the previous delivery that flew through, he had high hands and expecting the same
01:19and it just skidded through, perfect delivery
01:25that would be interesting to see where the two balls pitched
01:35it's a quick delivery
01:37it's bounced, beaten the keeper
01:39there it gets the old side out, a pickish one this time
01:46more runs here
01:47than usual that Bumra really pushes it up on such a full length
01:52unless he's just looking for the Yorker
01:56pass gets it away square again
01:59the man under question, Tacko gives chase
02:04huge cheer for Ben Stokes
02:06all-round excellent
02:07and he's just looking for the Yorker
02:13pass gets it away square again
02:15the man under question, Tacko gives chase
02:21huge cheer for Ben Stokes
02:33all-round excellence
02:35from one of England's greatest all-rounders
02:38five wickets in this match
02:40now a test match hundred
02:42his first for a couple of years
02:44that beats Sudarshan at gully
02:54runs to be had
02:55England's 602 for eight now
03:01finally Stokes goes down the ground
03:05he's just got enough of it
03:07I don't think he felt that he had
03:08signs now that England want to push things forward more quickly
03:16so Stokes down the ground for a six
03:18and now the reverse sweep for four
03:23hammered
03:25right out of the middle of the bat
03:29the builder does his utmost best
03:31it's Jaiswell but it's gone away for four
03:35smashed
03:36oh that is such a powerful strike
03:40that's gone for six
03:45now Kars is heaving away leg side
03:48and he's heaving away into the gap for four
03:50so
03:52the accelerator is being pushed
03:59goes again, that sounded alright
04:00but it's gone a long way up
04:01has it got the legs?
04:02you bet
04:07down the ground
04:10and he's going to get a boundary

04:17in test cricket at Old Trafford
04:23oh he's thrown it wide
04:24and Stokes has gone after that
04:25not got it
04:26good catch in the end
04:27Saisadasan had to gather himself
04:29keep an eye on Ben Stokes here
04:32is Kars coming with him
04:33I don't think he is
04:35total against India anywhere

05:21picked it up
05:22beautifully
05:24well behind squares
05:25Siraj
05:26placed perfectly
05:30celebrates
05:33to the crowd
05:34even Jadeja celebrates
05:35Edged
05:38taken
05:39there's the first one
05:40first over
05:41it's Wokes
05:43it started
05:44with Stokes
05:45in the 100
05:46and it's continued
05:47with Wokes with the ball
05:50always the way
05:51you get runs on the board
05:53keep the batters out
05:54on the field for a long time
05:56batting never looks as easy
05:59England 669
06:01and 2 and 2
06:04he's on a hat trick
06:05it is all happening
06:08and it's happening
06:09because of Wokes
06:10sliding maybe
06:11everyone's up
06:12all the slips cordon
06:13and Rod Tucker just says no
06:15yeah and there's movement too
06:30he's getting that length through
06:31he's getting the Indian players
06:32to think I've got to play forward
06:34and I'm getting a little bit nervous
06:36slightly anticlimactic really with the first over and himself on a hat trick for Wokes
06:51to the big in-swinger he thinks toe first
06:54he's pleading that it's toe first
06:59nice and slow
07:00I don't have any conclusive evidence that the ball hit the pad first
07:04so
07:06you can stay with your on-field call not out
07:13well you can hear the third umpire say no conclusive evidence there to overrule the on-field umpire
07:23lose their review
07:25Indian captain gets off the mark
07:27it's very important now Shubban Gil just plays his natural game
07:39beautiful
07:40just punch down the ground
07:42it's been India's most consistent player
07:44gets in excellent positions
07:46come back for three KRO
07:48excellent timing
07:57excellent touch
08:01picked up length quickly
08:02little bit of width on offer
08:03time nicely and hit into the ground here
08:10the old Trafford with the square being so hard it kicked on
08:13and he'll come back for three
08:16and that'll make him feel better they'll get his legs so
08:20moving a bit running those three runs as well
08:22that should go all the way
08:37the outfield with the rain this morning has slowed up a bit
08:40and it does
08:41lovely off drive perfect off drive
08:56and one of his trademark shops this
08:58was easing into it
09:03it's through is it
09:06peck slips field fielders in front of the wicket so he knows he has space there if he finds the gap and he's
09:10he finds the gap and he does
09:14it's glorious
09:16absolutely glorious for Gil
09:18straight down the ground
09:24he's gone once he goes twice
09:27both absolutely beautiful
09:31well that one's even better
09:37one to Gil, two to Gil and one now to KL
09:40it is a master class in straight driving
09:43it runs just a little push through the covers
09:49you'll watch of
09:51Ben Stokes after that ball as well
09:55to get the ball a little fuller than that because that's too easy for Schumann Gill it's a
10:02lovely uncomplicated punch off the back through
10:05beautiful shot
10:06short extra cover
10:11attempted to move to his right is Crawley and intercept that but it was past him in a flash
10:19short and that's clever
10:24that's an uppercut one bounce four
10:26so back-to-back boundaries for India's captain
10:35well that's cut
10:37backward of point, Kars is out there to protect the boundary but it's evaded him
10:41picks up the length so quickly
10:43another one but this was a bit of a gift Kars will make it round to cut that off this time
10:55Dothan not getting his length right yet
10:58Dothan not getting his length right yet
11:00nipped around too much
11:02that's work really hard that is half an appeal
11:03jacked back
11:05look like siding but
11:07on-field original decision is not out
11:11pitching outside of impact in line
11:14because missing you can stay with your on-field not out decision
11:18yeah not a good one
11:20that I think that was Harry Brook
11:22oh
11:26Ariel dropped
11:28down
11:30Dawson
11:31at a wide gully
11:33flying to his right
11:38oh top edge sweep
11:40no 45 in place long chase for Zach Crawley
11:47it will come back for the third
11:48beautiful shot
11:54through mid wicket archer chasing
11:58does pull it up good bit of work
12:01Gil will go to his 4.50 of the series
12:068 test match 50 overall every time he's got a 50
12:10dot finish India session you feel
12:1586 for 2
12:22lovely from KL Rahul who leans into that off-drive
12:25keep your eye on Stokes giving chase
12:28because we think he's just
12:31feeling his hamstring a little
12:33he seemed to chase that okay he hasn't bowled yet remember
12:36very clever and classy from KL Rahul he was in complete control of that shot knew exactly what he was trying to do
12:48well that's given Jamie Smith no chance whatsoever
12:54just rides with the extra bounce and the pace
13:06puts his hand up to say no I'll just take the single I'll move along
13:11to yet another half century in this series
13:13it's glorious as well
13:20finds the boundary of yet another sweetly time shot
13:25it's played that beautifully yeah he knows that if he gets it into around that chest area he's got all the skills
13:31goes after the full wide one and there's no protection on the offside except for just forward of point to deludes him
13:47guided very deliberately there's a slip and fifth slip or a fine gully and Gail has just guided that with great precision
14:00cut
14:05cut and cut with real conviction
14:08by KL Rahul who
14:12moves now to 80 so close at
14:16gully under the lid but that's misdirected down the leg side and
14:21Shubman Gill has just turned that with ease
14:24and Zach Crowley cannot prevent it going to the boundary
14:29change of angle from route but it was such a slow looping full toss
14:37and all KL Rahul had to do was bunt it down the ground
14:42well done KL Rahul and Shubman Gill
14:46just remember they came together when the score was not for two
14:54not for two
14:55not for two
