England captain Ben Stokes said on Saturday that lessons had been learned from their crushing first Test loss to Australia, but that the team had moved on, as he defended a decision for players to skip a pink-ball tour game.

Australia took a 1-0 lead in the five-match Ashes series with a stunning eight-wicket win in a frenetic two-day clash in Perth. “We’ve talked about it and we’ve moved on,” Stokes told reporters on Saturday, as England resumed their training for the second Test to be played with a pink-ball, starting Thursday.
