England captain Ben Stokes conceded that India well and truly turned the tables on his team in every department of the game with pacer Akash Deep’s (4-88 & 6-99) “incredible” skill-set making the decisive difference in the second Test here.
“I thought Akash exposed that crack last night [Saturday] and this morning [Sunday]. His ability to use and change his angles consistently and still be so accurate. He was zoning in on that crack. That one Harry Brook got this morning you can’t do anything about that,” Stokes said in the post-match press conference.
Akash Deep got one length ball to hit the crack and nip back sharply to thud in to Brooks’ pads. The England batter could not do anything about that peach. “Standing at the other end when Jamie Smith got a couple of those early on. It was seaming a foot off it. Incredibly skillful to hone in on that zone while still changing his angles on the crease. I thought it was good,” said Stokes.
