performance from all—rounder ben stokes, this time with the ball. 0ur correspondentjoe wilson is there for us. joeretty decent day for england's bowlers at least? yeah, absolutely. ithink yeah, absolutely. i think they out the about to come off now, because there is drizzle in the air. the floodlights have been on almost all day. we are in september and it has felt really autumnal. there was a concert sunshine this morning, though, and maybe that's why jason holder decided it was a good day to bat. but james anderson, holder decided it was a good day to bat. butjames anderson, with shiny red ball and gloomy skies, exactly the kind of day he likes. and it was anderson who started the wickets tumbling. first two went to him. alastair cook cop to catch but ba i rstow alastair cook cop to catch but bairstow made no mistake, taking two. at that stage we thought that anderson getting 500 was just a formality. he didn't, mainly because the other guys bowled well, in particular ben stokes, who bowled a long spell and came out after tea, getting it to swing. he was the man who couple of years ago trevor ba
