Ben Stokes to Blackwood
FOUR! Excellent control from Blacwood. Short ball outside off, Jermaine knows there is no third man so he lofts it over gully in a controlled manner and gets himself a boundary to move to 95 and 11 runs away from victory.

Ben Stokes to J Blackwood
OUT! Caught! Stokes gets another one and is the English miracle still possible? Well there is a glimmer of hope for that to happen now. End of a fantastic innings from Blackwood. He will be gutted not to see off the game and also miss out on a well-deserved century. Stokes bowls a fuller delivery outside off, Jermaine looks to go over mid off. He does not get the desired elevation and ends up hitting it to the right of mid off. Anderson there swiftly moves on that side and takes a simple catch. Blackwood cannot finish it off but what a fantastic knock he has played. Will he be furious to miss out the chance to take his side over the line by himself? Yes absolutely but that does not take away anything from his stupendous knock. Take a bow!
