He also revealed that the bowlers got so dangerous that they had to be stopped from bowling under the light as they feared that the batsmen could get injured. "Broady, Jimmy and Jofra have been licking their lips, It's been a completely different game. Whether that's going to be similar in the middle we're not sure," he said.  Ben Stokes said that the bowlers can wait to get out in the middle and bowl their heart out.

"When the lights came on, the nets actually got really dangerous. The bowlers had to stop bowling in the nets because we were actually worried that some of the batters were going to get injured," he added.
