Zakary Foulkes to Harry Brook, out Caught by Nathan Smith!! Fancy, fancy and gone! Taken at fine leg. Looks like England are going down in the act of trying to put on a bold face. Can they give Stokes an exit with a win or are they going to fumble again. Batters have been pushed up the order in the name of making a statement or forcing play. But England need to be smart about shot selection as well. Did Brook not know that fine leg was there? He was looking to pick this short of length delivery up behind square and all he did was pick out fine leg instead. Fielder moved to the right to complete an easy catch. A fifty-run opening stand is now follow by three wickets in 16 balls. Brook throws his back and walks off. Harry Brook c Nathan Smith b Zakary Foulkes 21(9) [4s-3 6s-1]

Zakary Foulkes to Jacob Bethell, out Lbw!! Jacob Bethell shoulders arms, gets rapped on the pad and has been adjudged lbw. He reviews but that looks plumb. Round the wicket, angling in on a length and nips in a bit as well. Misjudgement from the left-hander there. The impact doesn't matter. Ball-tracking shows it to be crashing into the middle-stump.

The New Zealand players congratulate Stokes as he walks off. Santner goes and gives him a hug as well. Family, former cricketers, the crowd, every single person is up on their feet to give a great ovation. This was a length delivery angling in and moving away outside off stump, Stokes wanted to slog-sweep it for another boundary but lost shape on the shot and lost the timing as well after playing on one knee. Mitchell got low to the right to take a fine catch and cries of "yeaaaahhh" from the New Zealand players marked the end of a great cricketing career. The Headingley heroics, those nerves of steel in the World Cup final, those long unrelenting, untiring and inspiring spells in red ball cricket, the transformation of the England Test team, the charismatic leadership, the switch between a dogged face under serious pressure to an aggressive avatar with the bat...

Zakary Foulkes to Stokes, 1 run, oh that kicked off and stunned Stokes. He is so lucky that the edge didn't go to hand at slip.
