Ind vs Eng 5th Test: Michael Vaughan feels the presence of this player would've helped England win the match

Michael Vaughan

Former captain Michael Vaughan feels England panicked on the final day of the fifth Test against India in the absence of inspirational skipper Ben Stokes, with only 35 runs needed to win and four wickets in hand.

"...Ben Stokes in that team, England would've won this Test match. He plays such a big role in this team, the mentality... England did panic [on the fifth morning].

"They just needed one partnership. They panicked in the way that they can with the way that they play, they play with a huge amount of aggressiveness.

Yesterday [Sunday] afternoon, the Harry Brook dismissal did cause that collapse, but it's the way England play," Vaughan told BBC's Test Match Special.
