Listening to Steve Harmison just now he believes hStokes even though perhaps not fully fit can still be a substantial sasset in the series , not sure about that myself | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Stokes looks born to lead' Sir Alastair Cook Former England captain on BBC 5 Live Breakfast Ben Stokes looks born to lead. He was always a leader in the dressing room, people followed him just because of his personality. But the way he has captained, the way he has influenced games tactically as well has been brilliant. England have struggled to take 20 wickets away from home and on flat wickets. Under his leadership, they have taken 20 wickets every time. | ![](/images/avatars/9155.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Tough call, but its been a decent day for England, Pope had a bit of bad luck and Moeen was a bit silly in losing his wicket and I suppose Stokes as well. Joe Root what a batsman. [Post edited 16 Jun 2023 18:55]

Quite often what you don't see on the TV with Root is the way he manipulates the field to be where they don't want to be, then punishes you. | ![](/images/avatars/9155.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
