Betfair Moment of the Day: Ben Stokes returns to form with bat

MELINDA FARRELL explains why her Betfair Moment of the Day was when the captain became just the fourth Englishman to take a five-wicket haul and score a century in the same match

England remain favourites to beat India on the final day of the fourth Test with the lead still at a sizeable 137.

This was forged as the hosts compiled 669 in their first innings, which was underpinned by Ben Stokes' first Test century since the 2023 Ashes.

Melinda Farrell explains why the captain reaching his milestone was her Betfair Moment of the Day.
