FOUR! There she goes again! Full again and around middle, Ben Stokes stays back in his crease, presents the full face of the bat and lifts it over the bowler's head, does not get it form the middle but generates enough power for it to race away to the long off fence for four more runs.

Alzarri Joseph to Ben Stokes
OUCH! Back of a length and on middle, angling in, Ben Stokes looks to heave it away but gets an inside edge straight on this box. He goes down screaming in pain. Maybe that can slow him down a bit because the bowlers are looking clueless here. England need just 44 runs to win now!
