Stokes resumed England’s innings alongside Jofra Archer. The pair added 106 runs for the ninth wicket, one of England’s best partnerships of the series, and helped steady the innings. Mitchell Starc dismissed Stokes, who scored 83 runs. England were bowled out and then had to take the field with a deficit of 85 runs.
However, Stokes did not bowl despite England bowling 66 overs. He also looked uncomfortable while fielding late in the day. Isa Guha said that Stokes is carrying a small injury. He briefly left the field and was seen checking his right groin.
“I heard a stat that he has spent only 90 minutes off the field of play. He has been batting. Stokes has been bowling. He has been captaining, he has given it absolutely everything in every Test match and that has just cost him in the end," she added.
Ben Stokes’ Fitness a Growing Worry for England
Ben Stokes came into the Ashes already carrying fitness concerns. He had shoulder surgery before the series and missed the final match against India in August. England have depended heavily on him. Stokes made a big impact with the ball in the first innings in Perth.
Archer was excellent in the first innings, taking five wickets. However, on Friday, he bowled fewer overs and was tidy rather than threatening. Stokes did not bowl at all. With another Test coming up within a week, followed by the New Year’s match in Sydney, Stokes’ fitness is a major concern for England.
