XtraTime Web Desk: Two late strikes from England’s star all-rounder Ben Stokes helped England to drag them back in the game in the first Test against Pakistan at Old Trafford on Friday.
Pakistan, on top for most of this match, were 137-8 in their second innings at stumps on the third day — a lead of 244 runs.
Stokes, who didn’t bowl in the third Test against the West Indies at Old Trafford last month because of a quad injury, took 2-11 in 20 balls.
