Stokes Confirms Availability For 2nd Test Vs NZ Despite Injury Scare
With New Zealand: England captain Ben Stokes said he would be available to play in the the second Test against New Zealand despite suffering an injury scare during their eight-wicket win in the first Test at Hagley Oval on Sunday.
Stokes had pulled up while bowling to Tim Southee and gave the ball to Gus Atkinson to finish the over. He didn’t bowl after that, though choosing to remain on the field, as England chased down 104 to win the game on day four.
"It has been a pretty heavy week this week - a lot of time in the field, I bowled 20 overs and spent time out on the middle with the bat as well. I hurt my back diving for a ball so it was management more than anything else.
