Stokes to William ORourke, out Caught by Emilio Gay!! That should be taken, and ORourke will have to walk back. Wicket No.3 for Stokes and that's a poor shot from ORourke. He wasn't getting anything in his arc and suddenly decides to heave a length delivery outside off climbing onto him. Also came back in a bit. Gets it off the upper part of the bat and the ball goes high in the air towards point where Gay completes an easy catch. A gutsy knock comes to an end, but ORourke will be disappointed with his shot selection. William ORourke c Emilio Gay b Stokes 19(38) [4s-4]
