Ben Stokes is likely to miss the final day of the Ashes after sustaining a right adductor injury while bowling on day four, having bowled only 10 deliveries. Although he batted briefly, he was dismissed for just one run, raising concerns about his availability for Australia’s second innings. England finished day four at 302-8, leading by 119 runs, with Stokes’ injury adding to the team’s woes as they have already lost other key bowlers to injury. Stokes is not part of England’s T20 World Cup squad and is next expected to play in June against New Zealand.
