Ben Stokes has been constantly thrown along the Anderson-Tendulkar trophy.
Ben Stokes has been enjoying a great test in Old Trafford and has contributed a lot to the bat and the ball. He took five wickts for 72 races in the first tickets to restrict India to only 358 and then achieved a century, the first in two years, to boost England to a great 669 in his first batting attempt.
While handling his workload in the first two tests, Stokes has worked with bat and ball in the last two games, pushing his body for excessive bowling load delivering marathon spells. Consequently, he was seen struggling with his hamstrings on numerous occasions and the pain was also removed on day 3 due to a cramp in the left leg before grabbing his hamstrings during the third entries.
Therefore, the question has emerged if it will be played on the last day of the Manchester test, where its bowling alley will be crucial again since KL Rahul and Shubman Gill will migrate it. During the press conference after day 4, England’s assistant coach Marcus Trescothick confirmed that he is a bit sore, but he hoped to play after a rest night.
“He is a bit rigid and sore. He has had a great workload in recent weeks, and then hitting in the first tickets, he was getting a little cramp. We hope that with another night of rest and a little more physio work during the night, he will return and a little tomorrow.”
How Ben Stokes has drastically increased his workload since the Lord’s test
Ben Stokes has been consistently thrown along the Anderson-Tendulkar trophy in progress, but the number of overs in a spell has increased, and the breaks have been reduced since the proof of the Lord. He blocked 35 and 26 on, respectively, in the first two games in Headingley and Edgbaston before delivering 44 overs in Lord’s.

Marathon spells of nine and ten overs arose on the last day of the third test, which was the energy taking for the SUV. Then, Stokes launched another 24 overs in the first entries of the Manchester test, making a total of 129 overs in four tests, the maximum that he has launched in a rubber.
You still have to play in the second tickets of the fourth test, and England has used up to five bowling players so far, including Joe Root. There may be a conscious effort to keep it fresh during the fifth day, where your bowling will be more effective with the old ball, since it can generate some reverse oscillation.
It is worth noting that Stokes has returned from surgery in his left ischiotibial, which demanded a rigorous rehabilitation of five months before the series. There is still a game and an eye on the ashes later in the year, the English pattern would distrust its importance as all terrain and could seek to relieve its bowling of bowling.
