Stokes has made it clear he'd prefer to lose trying to win rather than draw avoiding defeat!

I'm not sure that approach will help my blood pressure in the Ashes!
Can’t help agreeing entirely with that last sentence.
I’d have preferred another 30-40 runs today with another hour taken out of the game...but it’s just possible ‘Ben and Baz’ might know more than me.
