Stokes's ire more about angst meant for bowlers

It was a draw that seemed like a win at Old Trafford as young India continue to impress in England. Yes, frustrate England.

- Sanjay Manjrekar

This frustration became obvious in the way the match ended where in the final moments you could see Ben Stokes visibly upset, his behaviour making headlines as much as the great escape by India on the final day.

Stokes is an exceptional captain, leads from the front with impacts that change the course of the game, invariably that course being the match slipping away from England. It was business as usual for him on the final day when he got KL Rahul out and when Gill fell to the second new ball, England were set to win the Test, knowing that once the ball gets old and seamers become ineffective, his seasoned left-arm spinner Liam Dawson would take care of the rest by bowling into the rough.

As it turned out the two left-handers Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar hung together for 218 minutes, comfortably saving the game mostly by batting from the rough.
