Pope has a VAR to worry about,not out 74,Stokes a ton.10:35

Stokes 100. Now only c.1000 test runs behind Botham, but he needs another 200 test wkts.
Will get the runs, but prob not the wkts.

Will get the runs, but prob not the wkts.

With Broad and Jimmy both retiring probably after the next ashes at the latest, he might end up bowling a lot more.

Comment on the BBC site ...

"I think Ben Stokes could pull a wheelie on a unicycle right now."

... brilliant.

224-4 at close. Just ahead, England, but another good session with the bat needed tomorrow.

Think that session just about counts as a good one.

Butler is not good enough for test cricket, Foakes or Billings should replace him.
