I have come in, and I am surprised at seven down.

And Crawley has 74 no - miracles do happen!
The resurrection of Ben Stokes the bowler looks near-miraculous to me, too - I'd thought his knackered body was only capable of bowling a few overs each innings now, but has he ever bowled better than he is bowling now?

Definitely the best I can remember him bowling. There's always the nagging worry that he's going to get injured again, but he seems to be made of iron.

Congratulations he has now gone off injured

Maybe rust?

He had cramp and returned of course. But he definitely shouldn't be overbowled in the India second innings.
