Trescothick said on Saturday after stumps that Stokes’ absence in the attack of bowling on 4th day was the result of the convulsion he suffered on Friday, and the workload he managed during the match. “It’s just accumulation of workload and convulsions yesterday,” Trescothick explained. “We hope to return to bowling tomorrow. We’ll see what the morning is.”
Ben Stokes: On a plan for SHUBMAN GILL, throwing decision, playground, Jofra Archer
Stokes had previously had a massive impact on the bat and scored an excellent 141 to help England after 669. But with India, it is a remarkable struggle against KLAHUL and SHUBMAN GILL, England will probably need their captain to contribute again with the ball if they are to take the remaining eight goals and wrap the series.

Do you believe that Ben Stokes will fit for a 5th bowl. A day?
At lunch, visitors rolled at 1 to 2, but recovered well by 4 to 174 to 2 for 2, still ending with 137 runs. The calm resistance of Rahul and Gill established a fascinating last day.With a series of 16 goals with Stokes, Stokes may have to attach to the attack if the hosts are to reject India in time to win the victory. As a leading goal, England will again need to get their captain on the last day, especially if they are to sea the series without going to the oval.
