Stokes disappointed not to get India out

Friday, July 18 2014 by SNTV
  • Intro:

    Ajinkya Rahane spearheaded India's comeback from a perilous 145-7 with a fighting 103 to help the tourists reach 290-9 against England after day one of the second Test at Lord's on Thursday.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (English): Ben Stokes, England

    "I think there's a bit of frustration, especially the last session there - the tail hanging around with Rahane. But you've got to give credit to him, the way he played - it was a really good knock. But from the positive side we had them for 140 for seven - so taking that away from today, we keep knocking their top order over."

    "I reckon the hardest thing is actually to not try to think about, you know, we could be batting. Especially for myself and the bowlers. We have always got to have our 'bowling heads' on because as they showed at Trent Bridge, their tail can hang around. And as I said before, I just think we were extremely unlucky the way that Kumar did hang around at the end."

    "I think it is just from, you know, Kumar seemed to hang around - a lot of plays and misses and nicks through the slips. I mean, it has been a long tough day. That can really get to you."
