Archer playing like a 70's-80's WI lower order bat. 2 good partnerships with him outscoring the batsman. Very positive.

Mitchell Starc to Stokes, out Bowled!! Knocked him over! 143.6kph, nip-backer from Starc, Stokes doesn't account for the movement as he looks to force it through the off-side. Big gap between bat and pad for the ball to sneak through and crash into the off-stump. Starc roars and punches the air in delight as he breaks the century stand. Stokes, on the other hand, Archer
