“That century in my second Test was my best by far. I didn’t even look at my bowling at that time. I just thought if I get a few overs, happy days. But my mindset with the bat was different. I was myself as a batter,” Moeen Ali told in Cricinfo.

Also, revealed that he was told by the team management. Stokes would occupy the No. 6 slot after his memorable all-around show. Against the Kiwis at Lord’s in 2015 matches.

“I just remember when we played New Zealand and Ben Stokes had that amazing Test. I’d been batting at No. 6 and he was No. 8. I think I’d scored 60-odd in my last Test at No. 6 in Barbados,” Moeen Ali said.

“But Alastair Cook said, ‘look, I know you’re playing well, but we’re going to swap things around because we think Stokesy can do more.’ It was disappointing. I wouldn’t say I knew it was the right decision.” Ali also added.
