'Bowled' that was not to be: Tendulkar-Warne have fun discussion on Stokes' lucky survival

Stokes did not offer a shot to a delivery from Cameron Green but the ball brushed the stump and yet didn’t dislodge the bail
England batter Ben Stokes had the luckiest of escapes in recent times when a Cameron Green ball hit his stumps but he survived as the bails did not come off, prompting legends Shane Warner and Sachin Tendulkar to discuss the introduction of a possible new law.
The incident happened on the third day of the fourth Ashes Test on Friday when Australian all-rounder Green bowled one that was angled in and left-handed Stokes had shouldered arms, anticipating that the ball would pass by the stumps.
But it came back enough to kiss the off-stump. The bail started getting out of the groove but eventually settled down.
