He walked off injured in the middle of his 28th over of Australia's innings, with the England camp confirming the skipper was dealing with an adductor concern.

"Ben Stokes is currently being assessed for a right adductor complaint. We will provide an update when more information is available, " England Cricket said in a statement.
