Along with the other Canterbury bowlers, Stokes' figures were bruised by New Zealand batsman Colin Munro, who made an unbeaten 174 from 118 balls. Stokes' performance was at least an improvement on his Canterbury debut last weekend when he scored only two runs in a six-ball innings and went wicketless in nine overs in a loss to Otago. Avon and Somerset police have completed their investigation and are seeking advice from prosecutors on whether or not charges should be laid. The England Cricket Board has said Stokes will remain suspended pending the police investigation. England has lost the first two Tests to Australia in Brisbane and Adelaide and is likely to be more eager to recall Stokes if circumstances make it possible.
