01:15Plays that shot pretty well too.
01:18Really good dish from Ben Stokes.
01:21It's big again.
01:24There is a man in the deep who will pick it out of not quite the crowd but a few rows back.
01:31It's an excellent shot from Ben Stokes.
01:45That'll go quickly for four.
01:47That'll go quickly for four.

01:56Again beautifully played.
01:58It will go for four and it will bring up a half century for Ben Stokes.
02:02He's played quite brilliantly here, 52 from 45, high quality today.
02:07Hasn't been scared to get down on that one knee.

02:30And this is a terrific shot.
02:33Slightly, it's a turn but dead straight.

02:59Thought he had it.
03:01Did have it.
03:04Mamadoula put it down.
03:06He's hit that hard and flat.
03:08It was tough because it was a low catch that just kept coming at him.
03:12As you say, looked like he had it.
03:14Just never quite got his hands on it.
03:16But it was just juggling around his body and ended up spilling it.
03:22What a shot.
03:24Does he get enough of it? He does and in the air.
03:26Drops again.
03:28Second chance for Stokes.
03:32Look to go over. Extra cover and mid-off.

03:38The noise has just gone up another level.
03:40As that ball went sky high.
