Ben Stokes is one of the finest all-rounders in the world, but in the last few years, he has not been able to deliver with the ball because of injuries. However, he is completely fit now, and is showing his vintage bowling skills in the home series against West Indies. 

The classic example of it came in the final session of Day 2 of the second Test when England desperately needed a win with Alick Athanaze and Kavem Hodge building a strong partnership.

The wicket came on the first delivery of the 62nd over when Ben Stokes bowled a fullish delivery, angling it across the left-handed Alick Athanaze. The batter went for an expensive drive, but got a thick outside edge and Harry Brook at gully took a sharp catch.

The wicket was a much-needed one for England who scored 416 while batting first. Kavem Hodge though kept going and scored his maiden century, leading a Caribbean fightback after the hammering they got in the first Test match. 

Earlier, Kraigg Brathwaite also scored a solid 48 at the top of the order, but Gus Atkinson got the wicket of West Indies captain and then Shoaib Bashir got two wickets before Athanaze and Kavem Hodge got together in the 25th over.
