Stokes to Zakary Foulkes, out Caught by Harry Brook!! The timing of the announcement of Ben Stokes's retirement. The crowd getting right behind and the next ball he bowls he finds the outside edge and takes a wicket. The atmosphere in Trent Bridge is an absolute theatre. Crowd go berserk. Family applauds from the stands as well. In what is his 11th over of the spell, Ben Stokes still gets the ball to do something. Short of a length delivery outside off stump, Foulkes looks to push off the back foot for a shot square on the off-side, thick edge is found. Ball was dying on the way to the cordon but it's taken cleanly. Ben Stokes has his arms aloft and runs away from his teammates. He resembles an Eagle that dominates the sky. Then jumps and fist pumps to celebrate that wicket before his teammates catch up and mob him. He's decided this is his last day at international cricket and he wants to let every drop of the juice left in him and soak it all up on the field. Zakary Foulkes c Harry Brook b Stokes 6(41)
