Jos Buttler believes that the return of Ben Stokes has put the English selectors and the captain on the spot ahead, due to Chris Woakes' performance at Lord's, of the third Test of the five-match series against India. He also stated that he is looking forward to seeing Stokes back with the team.

The Indian cricket team has not had a practice session in the past few days after the unforgettable innings defeat in the second Test match at Lord’s. While Geoffrey Boycott said that India deserved the thrashing, Sourav Ganguly emphasized on the importance of practice in any sport.

India’s no.1 spot in Test rankings shall not be threatened even if they are subjected to a 5-0 whitewash by England in the ongoing Test series, which looks like a possibility now. The only impact of the whitewash shall be that England shall jump from rank no.5 to rank no.2 in the Test rankings.

England all-rounder Ben Stokes is highly unlikely to feature for the three lions in the upcoming Test at Trent Bridge regardless of the outcome of his ongoing trial for affray at the Bristol Crown Court. Stokes’ trial will continue today and is not expected to conclude until Wednesday.
