Stokes to de Kock, out Caught by Bairstow!! Bairstow throws the ball in the air, Stokes just keeps walking towards his team mates and nobody knows what is happening until they show de Kock walking off. The South African nicks it behind and started walking before the finger went up. Angled in on a length and de Kock prods forward to defend, the ball holds its line to take a feather on the way to Bairstow. Big wicket for England as de Kock could have done some serious damage to the final target. de Kock c Bairstow b Stokes 34(37) [4s-2 6s-3]
