England's Ben Stokes bowled twice in three balls by Shannon Gabriel!

Stokes reprieved by no-ball - before having stumps smashed again

By Sky Sports Cricket

Ben Stokes was bowled off a Shannon Gabriel no-ball - before being dismissed legally in the same fashion two balls later!

Ben Stokes' stumps were shattered twice in three deliveries at Lord's as Shannon Gabriel atoned for castling the England man off a no-ball with an exact replica!

Stokes (60), having notched his 12th Test fifty, was bowled through the gate from the fourth ball of the 39th over, only to receive a reprieve with Gabriel overstepping.

The legal fourth delivery of the over was then worked into leg by Stokes but he was sent packing a ball later with Gabriel beating his defences once again with another vicious in-swinger.

Watch Gabriel's three-ball spell in the video at the top of the page.

Stokes' half-century on day two of the series-deciding third Test came a day after he scooped career-best figures of 6-22 as Windies were shot out for 123 in 57.3 overs at HQ.
