TFW Daily - Stokes the machine - England India, 4th Test, Old Trafford Day 2
Episode Notes
England India Daily, 4th Test, Old Trafford Day 2: Zak Crawley continued his love of the Old Trafford pitch as he and Ben Duckett set up a potential first innings lead for England, but can they arrest their aversion to centuries? India’s bowlers shook off a sleepy start to finish the day strongly, however, and Jasprit Bumrah (who else) caused trouble as stumps drew near. It was the worst possible news for Rishabh Pant, who confirmed a series-ending foot fracture, but even that won’t stop him from having a say in the Test as he bravely came back out to bat in the morning session. Earlier, it was Ben Stokes (who else) for England. Daniel Norcross joins Ben Jones from Old Trafford to dissect where today leaves the series.
