Ben Stokes hopes a late injection of “good vibes” helps England to throw off the shackles and wrap up their series-decider against Pakistan.

With assistant coach Paul Collingwood providing the throwdowns, the players took turns trying to clear the ropes and were eliminated one by one until only two remained. Rehan Ahmed edged Harry Brook in a best-of-three finale, celebrating his recall to the side after eight months with a sweet straight hit and the all-important bragging rights.
