Stokes reprieved by no-ball - before having stumps smashed again
Friday 8 September 2017 16:21, UK
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.

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.
