He has batted at three 13 times for his county, most recently in 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n Stokes said England’s second-Test defeat last week, in which he bowled a continuous 12-over spell, “took a lot out of him” and his ability to bowl was a factor in his decision to pick an extra bowling option.<\/span><\/p>\n “I had to think about what the game would look like if I didn’t bowl any overs,” Stokes said.<\/span><\/p>\n “Last week, I am not going to lie, it did take it out of me. <\/span><\/p>\n “That is not to say I am not going to bowl, when the game is on the line things might change, but it was a tough week last week.”<\/span><\/p>\n The fallout from Bairstow’s controversial dismissal has overshadowed the Lord’s Test. For the first time in the series’ history, England now need to come from 2-0 behind to win an Ashes.<\/span><\/p>\n Stokes said it was time to “move on” from the incident and played down using the anger evident on the final day to inspire his side.<\/span><\/p>\n “The more we talk about it the less emphasis on the rest of the series,” Stokes said.<\/span><\/p>\n “The message is ‘we know what we have to do as a team and do whatever you have to do, feel however you have to feel to get the best out of yourself’. <\/span><\/p>\n “The best thing to do from our camp, and probably Australia, is shut it down and move on – concentrate on the cricket. <\/span><\/p>\n “I don’t think we can be any more galvanised than we are.”<\/span><\/p>\n Australia captain Pat Cummins said he would do the same thing again, if the opportunity to dismiss an England batter in a similar fashion arose at Headingley.<\/span><\/p>\n While England have been branded “cry-babies” in the Australia press, some have questioned whether Australia’s stumping held up when considering the spirit of the game.<\/span><\/p>\n “It doesn’t really bother me,” said Cummins, whose side would seal a first Ashes series win in England in 2001 with victory in Leeds.<\/span><\/p>\n “I think the way our team’s conducted themselves over the last couple of years has been flawless really. We’ve been fantastic and I think that showed again on day five at Lord’s.”<\/span><\/p>\n Cummins opted not to name his side at his press conference but did confirm off-spinner Todd Murphy would replace the injured Nathan Lyon.<\/span><\/p>\n Murphy has played four Tests – all in India earlier this year – and took 7-124 on debut. <\/span><\/p>\n Seamer Scott Boland is likely to come into contention, given the three-day turnaround between Tests, with Josh Hazlewood the most obvious seamer to be rested.<\/span><\/p>\n |
