In the ongoing fourth Test match against Team India, England skipper Ben Stokes will be eyeing another two milestones.

In India`s first innings of the fourth Test, Stokes already registered a five-wicket haul while bowling 24 overs, during which, he was smashed for 72 runs. With this, he became the fourth cricketer in the format`s history to score 10 or more centuries, and take at least five five-wicket hauls. The other three players on the list are West Indies` Garfield Sobers, England`s Ian Botham, and South Africa`s Jacques Kallis.

Ahead of Day 3, the 34-year-old is just 109 runs shy of completing 7000 runs in the traditional format of the game. So far, having represented the `Three Lions` in 115 Test matches, the left-hander has scored 6891 runs. He also has 13 centuries and 35 half-centuries in the format.
