Ben Stokes made this stormy plan :-

Stokes himself has planned to bat at six and is hoping that England’s recently underpowered batsmen will do well by scoring runs in the first Test against the Kiwis at Lord’s on June 2. He said, ‘Now I feel that instead of talking about Durham’s score, I have to see who is scoring. At the same time, now I have to participate in a lot more county matches.
