2nd Test: Wicket Suited India More As The Game Got Deeper, Says England Skipper Stokes
Tendulkar Trophy Test: After suffering a huge 336-run defeat to India in the second Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test at Edgbaston, England skipper Ben Stokes said as the game got deeper, the pitch began to suit the visitors’ more than the hosts.
Stokes was speaking in the post-match presentation ceremony about his decision to bowl first, a question to which he avoided giving a direct answer. "It was a tough one. Having a team 200-5, you feel you're in a commanding position. As the game got deeper, it turned into a wicket that suited India more than us," he said.
He then pointed towards two situations from where England lost the match, as they conceded a huge 180-run lead to India and allowed their batters, including skipper Shubman Gill, to make gigantic scores.
