They have been pretty well screwed here but this is a team that is incredibly likeable for many reasons. As mentioned can only imagine how India would have dealt with a similar hand.
It would have been interesting to see what would have happened if England had been given 5 runs, putting Adil Rashid on strike with 4 to win off 2 balls. I guess we'll never know, but Ashley Giles is certain Stokes would have got back on strike and hit the last ball for six, so it probably doesn't matter.
