Former England captain Michael Vaughan pleaded with Ben Stokes and CO to play for a draw on the last day because they cannot win the Edgbaston test from this position.“They cannot win this match,” Vaughan told BBC Cricket.“India has completely dominated the test match with a brilliant competence, a great discipline. This is exactly what I want to see from England tomorrow. In a kind of fun, this day came when the Bazballers cannot arrive on five days and even think of winning.“Do they have the Ticker, all skills and determination to try to get a draw? Do they have the skills and the state of mind to try to beat the full day and get on the bus for Lord’s with a draw? We will wait and see.“”Vaughan stressed that in the 34 tests under the post of captain of Stokes, England pulled only once – a game affected by the rain – while winning 21 and losing 12. He argued only to succeed in large series, in particular against the High parts like India or in Australia, the state of mind of England was to change.“Bazball will be asked the ultimate question tomorrow. Do the team and the players go completely against their natural instincts?
“If you want to win the big series against India at home in five games and want to go to Australia, I think it is impossible to have a state of mind that we win, that’s all we are looking for. We do not play for prints.“A draw for England of this position, and I hope they get it more in a kind of success, if they can move away from here with a draw, it’s almost better than last week’s victory because it is completely against their natural trade.”
