Im really happy with the way were playing baseball right now.

Englands in-form all-rounder Ben Stokes admits he has suffered more finding food than with opposition bowlers on the tour of India. Stokes revealed, ahead of the second Test in Visakhapatnam, his sole appetite once he has begun batting is for runs and that an unbeaten score means an empty stomach if the lunch or tea interval arrives.The Durham star was one of Englands most impressive performers in the first Test draw in Rajkot, scoring 128 in his first innings and, of course, laying off his food even in the knowledge it might affect his health. India vs England November 17, 2016, 3:30am Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass I cant eat when Im not out, I dont know why, he said. Our physio, and strength and conditioning and doctor were trying to force-feed me pretty much.But I literally cant eat, not even a protein shake or anything. Ive never been able to do it.That was the reason for the cramp, so theyre pretty much on my case to make sure I eat whenever I can. Watch some of the best moments from the drawn first Test between India and England on Sky Sports It doesnt really affect you in England because it is always freezing...and cramping up does relate back to not eating.Stokes is also having to deal with a dislike for the local fare on offer in India, at least when he is not occupying the crease and unable to eat anyway. Could England recall James Anderson or Jos Buttler for the second Test against India? The Verdict panel has its say I dont like this type of food. I was trying to eat naan bread, daal and rice. But I cant eat anything - not a banana, nothing, he added.It was hot, and I was cramping up towards the end and had to go off when we went out to field.But Stokes is pleased to see the rewards coming for his hard work with batting coaches Mark Ramprakash and Graham Thorpe, two players with huge experience of sub-continent cricket. Stokes was one of Englands star performers in a draw which almost turned into a day five win Its good to know I can play the different role to the one people associate with me, trying to hit fours and sixes once I get past a certain score - that I can stay in there when it is different conditions, he said.Ive always known I can hit the big shots, so Ive tightened up the other things which dont come as easy - the defensive side of it and rotating the strike. Zafar Ansari says Englands performance in the first Test against India has given them extra belief they can win the series I was doing sessions of not getting out, playing defensively ... no matter what the ball was. As nets progressed, I starting getting into a few more attacking shots.Putting the hard work into something Ive always known and always been told I need to work on, its a good feeling to then go out and do it against the best bowler in the world in [Ravi] Ashwin and the best team in the world. I think thats the best feeling Ill have - all the work I have done is showing up.

He didnt factor in the decision after tossing five innings and allowing four earned runs on six hits.The Angels have gotten solid starting pitching lately.Its encouraging, because weve seen guys that were looking forward to seeing where theyre going to be next year because they have a chance to help us, manager Mike Scioscia said. The heartbeat of the club is your rotation. We need to get a little more consistent, a little deeper there, and hopefully we start to see it. ' ' '
