Ben Stokes was hit on all fours by Gudakesh Moti’s ball.
The game on the second day of the first match of the 3-match Test series being played between England and West Indies at the historic Lord’s ground was very exciting in which the host team’s first innings ended at a score of 371 runs. England took a huge lead of 250 runs compared to West Indies’ first innings score. The first innings of the English team saw half-centuries from the bats of Jack Crowley, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook and Jamie Smith. At the same time, team captain Ben Stokes returned to the pavilion after scoring only 4 runs, in which he was bowled by Windies team spinner Gudakesh Moti on such a ball that everyone was surprised to see it.
The ball turned from outside the off stump in such a way that Stokes had no answer.
In the Lord’s Test match, when the England team lost its fourth wicket in the form of Harry Brook at the score of 244, then Ben Stokes, who came to bat, had scored 4 runs after facing 10 balls. After this, Gudakesh Moti, who came to bowl the 55th over of the innings for the West Indies team, bowled the last ball of this over outside the stump off side where there were some shoe marks on the pitch. On this, Ben Stokes tried to drive by taking one leg forward but the ball spun with such speed that it came out of the gap between the bat and the pad and went straight to the middle stump. While Stokes himself was surprised after getting out on this ball, the spectators sitting in the stadium also clapped and praised Moti’s ball.
Moti also bowled brilliantly to Root
While Ben Stokes was bowled by Gudakesh Moti with a surprising ball, he also made Joe Root his victim after this. Moti came round the wicket and threw the ball upwards in the line of the middle stump from the very edge of the crease, after which the ball, after falling on the pitch, came out with a speed which Root could not understand and the ball missed the outer edge of the bat. While doing it, it went straight to the off stump. Root was not able to test the speed of this ball. 68 runs were seen from his bat in this innings.
