Stokes is an awesome cricketer no doubt about it. His ability to swing the ball when others can't is impressive.

He swings the ball very far, but as this over is proving, he backs up a few good balls with a low full toss, a wide half volley, and a few short balls. He bowled one over earlier where 5 balls went outside leg stump!

Two quick wickets will make this interesting.
Unfortunately I can't see us getting any quick wickets.

The umpires have had enough, they're bringing them off.
Oh wait, it's raining.

I'm constantly amazed that the SKY team don't know what taking a rope across wet grass achieves. It shakes the blades of grass so the water droplets fall below to the earth. Anyone who's been on a golf green early when the dew is heavy will know the value of the greenkeeper roping the greens before play.
Work expands to fill the time available, so why do today what can be put off until tomorrow.
