To be fair to Stokes - he didn't appeal, and was even pretty reluctant to review. And I thought that illustrated and backed up exactly what he said after the Bairstow incident - that it's not what he would have done. I don't think anything could even out the stumping / run out dismissal...

Set off from work on my bike with my mobile in my pocket at full volume when they were three down. Got home - 8 down. What a bike ride! Almost came off at one point when I forgot to hold on to at least one handlebar. The old guy walking his dog must have wondered what on earth was going on...

Mollie didn't tell Aggers that at tea-time. Does she know that's the last time she'll see him in his Test Batting Outfit? Unless they play on tomorrow of course.

All going a bit pear-shaped now

I'm looking forward to it as well. I have a feeling we'll roll them over realtively easily given the momentum and motivation from the last two tests.
