AFP, LONDON: Ben Stokes is looking forward to giving England an extra bowling option as they go in search of a one-day international series-clinching win against Pakistan at Trent Bridge on Tuesday.
England will head to Nottingham 2-0 up with three to play after convincing wins at Southampton and Lord's.
All-rounder Stokes has been involved in both those victories but as a batsman only after a calf problem prevented England one-day captain Eoin Morgan deploying him as a member of the hosts' pace attack. But the Durham star hopes to be firing on all cylinders come Tuesday's day/night clash in the English Midlands.
“The plan from the start was to be fit and ready to bowl by the third ODI and by the way things are going it is looking likely I will be an option for Eoin in Nottingham if needed,” he said after Saturday's four-wicket win at Lord's.
