England captain Ben Stokes was livid with himself after losing his wicket to Mohammed Siraj on day three of the opening Test at the Headingley in Leeds. The seam-bowling all-rounder was heard yelling 'f**k after tossing his bat high up in the air in frustration. A video of the same has gone viral on social media.
Why Are India & England Players Wearing Black Armbands On Day 3 Of 1st Test At Headingley? Reason RevealedWith Stokes and Harry Brook keeping the tempo up for England despite losing Ollie Pope in the very second over of day three, Team India was visibly getting frsutrated. With Siraj coming in to bowl the 65th over, the Hyderabad-born cricketer teased one outside off-stump, inviting Stokes to take the bait. The left-hander ended up falling for it and fiddled with the ball but only managed a thin outside edge to Rishabh Pant, who took a simple catch.
