What stokes said on the series
The British captain said, ‘Nothing has changed. After last week we are not taking anything lightly. We start again 0–0. England defeated India by 5 wickets in the Leeds Test. He won by chasing 371 runs on the fifth day.
During the first match, it came to see that when Pant played an aggressive shot off Ben Stokes at the beginning of his innings, the British captain laughed at it. Regarding this, Stokes said, ‘Even though he is a player of the opposition team, I love to see Rishabh playing cricket. I like how he plays in all the formats of the game. He has faced criticism for this, but when you let him play openly, something special happens. Pant scored centuries in both innings of the first Test. He became the first Indian wicketkeeper batter to do so.
England have declared their playing XI for the second Test match. England’s playing XI: Ben Stokes (Captain), Jack Carouly, Ben Docket, Oli Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Jamie Smith, Chris Woakes, Bidon Cars, Josh Tung and Shoaib Bashir.
