    How on earth do you contain Ben Stokes?

    How on earth do you contain Ben Stokes?


    That's the question Australia is trying to answer ahead of the fourth Ashes test starting tonight in Manchester.

    Stokes scored a match-winning ton in the third test at Headingley to level the series 1-all.

    Captain Tim Paine insists he's not worried about losing the captaincy being under threat if Stokes has another big day like he did to rescue England from nowhere at Leeds.



    First ball is at 10pm.
