Stokes survived two dropped catches, two run out chances and a tough stumping opportunity before he was finally out for an eventful 128 just before the scheduled tea break. Geoff Pullar, Ken Barrington, and Ted Dexter all scored hundreds in the second innings of a test against India at Kanpur in December, 1961. India had dropped three catches on the first morning of the match and their profligacy continued when wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha dropped Stokes twice off Yadav. Stokes was on 60 when Saha spilled the ball after diving to his left. Stokes also added 52 for the ninth wicket with Zafar Ansari before Saha completed a smart catch down the leg side off Yadav to dismiss him.
