127.1 to DG Bedingham, Bedingham holes out to long-on now to give Baker some reward at the start of his new spell. 580/6

126.5 to BA Stokes, another massive hack to the leg side, but this time he can't connect perfectly, and the fun is over! A stunning display from England's new captain ends with a well-judged take from Haynes, two metres in from the rope. 580/5
