I live right by Ian Healy Oval where the England squad are warming up so I thought I'd swing by after work. Been here 15 minutes and I've already seen two dropped chances in the slips.
A few guys are just walking laps, Stokes among them, but he may well have been active earlier in the day.
Not convinced Stokes is going to be at full flight this series. It was only a small noticeable thing for me, but he slightly backed away playing his back foot shots. This is a sign he is trying to give that hand a chance to take less impact. Think he may find a lot of short stuff from out quicks.
