Manchester, July 26: <\/strong> It was a spilt coffee on which Ben Stokes sat as he would say, but the world's premier all-rounder got social media buzzing when he had a stain on the backside of his trousers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

England's fielders, including captain Joe Root, were left in splits after a brown patch appeared on Stokes' white trousers on the second day of England's third Test against West Indies at Old Trafford here.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The world's No. 1 all-rounder tried to hide the mark by pulling down his sweater, before also having a laugh.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"Sat in spilt coffee FYI," Stokes later took to Twitter to reply to one post on Test Match Special on the same incident which got social media talking.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Former England striker Gary Linekar had a similar incident during a World Cup game in 1990 where the former Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City forward stretched for a ball and lost control of his bowels against Ireland in the group clash.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Linekar had been suffering with a troublesome tummy before the match. "S*** happens," Linekar wrote on Twitter, also replying to Test Match Special's tweet.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The three-match Test series, which marked the resumption of cricket since it was stopped by the coronavirus pandemic, is locked 1-1 with West Indies winning the first Test and England levelling things in the second.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In the ongoing third Test, struggling West Indies were saved from losing more wickets by the fading light on Day 2 of the decisive third Test.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

West Indies ended the day on 137\/6, trailing England by 232 runs with Dowrich (10) and captain Jason Holder (24) in the middle. England scored 369 in their first innings.<\/p>\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ben-Stokes-.jpg", "alt_img": "Ben Stokes ", "alt_title": "Ben Stokes ", "image1": "", "video": "", "seo_title": "Ben Stokes reveals hilarious reason behind brown stain on his pants On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Manchester, July 26:\u00a0\u00a0It was a spilt coffee on which Ben Stokes sat as he would say, but the world's premier all-rounder got social media buzzing when he had a stain on the backside of his trous", "seo_keywords": "Ben Stokes", "tag": "", "tagging": "Ben Stokes,", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": "0", "slug": "ben-stokes-reveals-hilarious-reason-behind-brown-stain-on-his-pants", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": "0000-00-00", "ians_time": "00:00:00", "server_time": "0000-00-00 00:00:00", "trash": "0", "view_count": "1374", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2020-07-26 21:59:24", "updated": "2020-07-26 21:59:24", "img_from": "Twitter", "img_source": "", "schedule_publish": "0000-00-00 00:00:00", "news_keywords": "", "livescore_text": "", "livescore_link": "", "btn_text": "", "resend_feed": "0", "google_feed": "0", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "1", "jio_date": "2020-07-26 21:59:24", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": "2020-07-26 21:59:24", "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "england_cricket": "0", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/ben-stokes-reveals-hilarious-reason-behind-brown-stain-on-his-pants-62265" }
