Ben Stokes praised the competitive nature of both England and India in the four of the five tests that have been played so far. His comments came after India saved a well-deserved draw in the Manchester test.
He appreciated the grit that India showed with the bat in the last few days after two early beats in the first on the fourth day.
“It was a good start yesterday (day 4) with two wickets over in the first, but it was one of those wickets, when you came in, you felt that you would be the one who would make a mistake to get out. It has been a back and weather series so far. Under the pressure they were,” STOKES shared during the presentation after the game.

The English skipper reflected on the dynamic nature of the strategies of a team where a supplier and their team usually have to adopt on the last day of a competition.
“But you have always known that the quality that India has, if they were able to get in, could hardly be removed and proven them. If you bowl on day 5, you have to leave for different plans, different fields, different ways to try to generate wickets, different ways to make in the middle of the middle of the middle.
England Were in the predominance after India 0/2 in the first of the second innings of the visitors. However, the team, led by Shubman Gill, struck brilliantly to deprive England.
