Stokes to Carey, out Caught by Crawley!! You got to be kidding me! This is ridiculous, Ben Stokes. To have a man at leg gully, to have the in-form batter caught tickling straight to hand and walking off cheaply. This is genius stuff. He's done this to people in the past. It looks like a nothing length ball down leg, Carey thought he could glance for four but found the fielder to perfection. Replays confirm that just before this ball Stokes asked Crawley to go to leg slip and looks like Carey didn't spot the change. In fact he was looking to take off on the run the moment it left the bat. He'd be kicking himself in the dressing room. Carey c Crawley b Stokes 20(35)
