We are about to take on a series of extreme batting challenges. What's this? Looks like a series of escape rooms. Wow. In this first challenge, KL must move the truck to the finish line. KL, this one's all about power. The further you hit it, the further you travel. Let's get started. Great start, Kale. That first hit 75 m. The reward, we're going to move exactly 75 and go from there. So, Kale, you've still got 425 m to the finish line. Seven balls to go. Think you can make it? I got it, bro. Bring it on. All right, let's go. That's a good hit. I like that. Kale, that second one, 71 m, which means you've got 354 to go. I have the odds against me today being up on a truck and
the wind is against me. We normally need 70, 80, even 90 m to hit the ball off a cricket field. So, I need to be hitting big sixes almost every single wall. If this is what I'm up against, I wonder what Ben has to face. This is absolutely mad. If KL and Ben can succeed in their challenges, they'll need to work together to defeat an escape room. And only then will they reach the final boss challenge. Kale, you've got 354 to go. Oh, that's a good one, boy. That's really good. That's my best one. Okay, 83 m. So, there's still 271 to go. Let's jump into ball four.
Oh, boy. Oh, yes. Let's go. That is huge. That has to be 100. I've not hit it that well even in the IPL. 84 m. What? Yeah. hitting against the wind. That's why it's harder for me to get the distance that I'm hoping. Four to come. So now I'm angry. No, it can't all quite go off the middle as you know, K be about 50 m. No, it's actually not as bad as you thought. 66. How badly do you want 100 m six? Very badly, bro. I'm I'm not even trying to hide it. Okay, so three balls remaining. 121 m to go. The ego of KL Rahul will be hurting to not get past 90 or 100 meters. So to me, we've got a bit more riding on these next few deliveries.
Three balls remaining, 121 m to go. Wait, wait. What happens if I don't make it? No final boss challenge for you. I can't let Stokes do it all by himself. So I get this done. Let's go. Oh man. He has absolutely skyed that 38 m only. Time to break the news to him. Kale, hope you're listening. I can see the frustration. 38 m. You've got 83 m to go. Yeah, I'm just disappointed, but I'll get over it. Let's go. Let's do this. Yes, that is huge. That's the one. That is massive. That is the one. That is the biggest of the day. Yes, that's me. 110 m with a ball to spare. Kale, that was close. Let's see what Ben can do.
Ben, I hope your aim is good today. This one is all about precision. Yeah, I think I got this one in the bag. Ness. Six targets. You're just going for blue and yellow ones. All right. If you hit these ones short, red and white, you're out. Get them all and you will join KL in the escape room challenge. You ready, mate? Bowling machine is on. That's close. Come on. I need a bit more for you to get me ranging. A, it's absolutely rubbish. Sharp. Got the length. I think that's the one. That's the length. Come on. Hit the yellow. Straight at the middle. Hit the yellow.
Ben Stokes gone outside leg stump. He's given himself a bit of room. Bumra coming in with the Orcer. He's gone full. That's why that is one. Be yellow. Yes. Get in there. Oh, it's two and two. Nasa. Oh, I'm going to get the drone. The Indian bowlers have noticed that Stokes has given himself room. Will they follow him? Oh, Ben. That is just pathetic. I feel it's actually harder hitting the closer ones. Yeah, free your arms. Here's me giving Ben Stokes advice on how to hit a ball. Right, spinners on. They've brought your danger on. That is gone all over the place in the air. It's blowing a gale.
Conditions have got slightly tougher here in the middle of the lake in Mumbai. Yeah, that's it. That is it. Straight in the guts. Oh my god. Stokes getting frustrated. Isn't that two-way? Stokes may be at his best when he gets frustrated. We shall see. Yellow. Yes. Right. Get in. Offside. He's gone offside. One leg side. One offside. There we go. There's two in a row. Nice. Blue be blue. A high one on blue. High. God. That's clipped it. Are you claiming that or not? No. He's too honest. Oh.
Oh, yeah. Here we go. This is one. Yes. Three to get. Halfway there. Still time. He's on three. Oh, yeah. Real good. Followed him into the boat. Watch out in the boat. Three to get. Six again. Western Terrace again. Stokes again. Yellow. Yes. You got two to get. Two blues. Sharp, boy. Come on, blue. No, you've hit it too well. Two to get. Come on, Stokes. Oh, come on. Please fade. Four. How you feeling? Pissed off. There's a lot of emotion coming out now. Still two to get.
Blue. Be blue. Is that 2 m? Yeah, 3 m. Sure. Blue again. He's been so close to that blue one. Be blue. Yes. Get in. They're going mad in the boats. Right. Come on. One to get. Just got a bit of a G up there now. Crowd's building. Lights fading. The hardest one to get as a left-hander. Probably the hardest shot for Stokes. I have to be honest. Blue. That's the blue he's looking for. This is going to be the hardest one.
Yeah. This is going to be tough. I got it. Come on. One to get. Jeez. Sorry, Nath. That's all right, mate. Keep going, Stokesy. Come on. Oh, you absolute melt. He's a competitive zone and so I can tell you a lot of people would have faded now. Shot. Be the one. Yeah. Yes. With seconds to go on the clock. Stokes is down on his knees again. Oh, I'm going to turn the bowling machine off. Only you could do that. Then do some press ups and well done. That will see you through the next challenge with KL. Thanks, man.
Bro, how are you? Good, man. What have we got going on here? Looks like a series of escape rooms, and we need to find a way out. This challenge is all about defense. There are four rooms, two each. Survive all the balls in each room to make it to the final boss challenge. Don't get out. Who wants to go first? I go first. Okay. I've got a Q card. What does it say? Where? It just says where. It's all I got for you, bro. Where's the ball coming from? I think that's the question. Just got to stop these balls getting through. made it out successfully. Let's see how much more harder it gets for Ben in the next room. Good luck, Ben. And guess what your queue is? I'm guessing it's a one word Q card. It is. Yeah, it's a when.
Should be easy for you. Nah, this is not Yeah. Don't get out. At least I can hear it. Ben sounded too confident. They've decided to make it harder for him. So, they've given him some headphones, so he won't be hearing the bowling machine now. It's not exactly my genre, but Good luck, Ben. I don't think you can hear me. I'm not even going to look at that screen countdown. Good job, bud. That's why he's Ben Stokes. Make it harder for him. He becomes a different beast. One more ball to go. Ben
I'm done, buddy. You're done. Good stuff. How's that with headphones on? Can you do that in a game? No. Absolutely no chance. When I play against you, you spray me a lot. I thought maybe that's a good option. Put my earphones on and I'll listen to Ben Stokes. Do you want to put headphones in? I'll more than happy for you to do that cuz that was tough. See what's room three? Oh my god. What do we have here? The hell is this? So you got one, two, three, four. Four balls, four different surfaces at random. Not playing a test series in India.
I'm more scared about that one there. Well, here you go. Got a Q card with actually one word on it. How? Okay, guess how am I going to survive this? Sums it up pretty well to be honest. Just don't edge it behind. Nice. Flies off that thing, doesn't it? Yeah. Oh, y I told you that one would be the hardest. Three from three. Nice. Four from four. Not bad, actually.
I might steal this patch before a home series. Okay. Mhm. You're on, bud. Ben, the cue for this one is which hit the lit target to escape and face the final boss. Okay. Bounce. Jesus. Oh my god, that was so close. Oh wow. Oh yes. Yay. First take. Can you believe it? Right, let's go see what the boss is all about. Eh, what do you think we're doing now, Ben? I got no idea. What is this? Oh my god. Welcome to the final boss challenge. Here, your precision and teamwork skills will be put to the ultimate test. You must defend from the approaching waves of pitch invaders. Once you hit a pitch invader, the next wave of targets will
begin. First wave starts in 10 seconds. Let's go. They said targets, but I don't see anything. I see tuk tuks. Little flavor of India. Oh, that's lovely. Oh, spark. There's a lot of them coming now. Hit it. Does that count? It's not even the tuk. You need to hit that target. Just need one to get to the next level. Oh, it's absolutely pony. In my head, they almost seem like fielders and I'm trying to hit it in between them. Shot. Yes. Hit it. Oh, man. Stay in there, Ben. Yes. Oh. Oh my word. Oh, that's lovely.
We're getting close, bro. Yeah. Yes. Thank you. We got the next one coming. Oh my god. This one will be harder. Oh, here we go. KL. Oh, you're too strong. Oh, it's too far. Oh my god. It's still going down and up. Yes. Oh, shot. Feel the rain now. Yes. Hey, here we go. Oh my word. Oh my god. That's out of bounds. Hit it. Yeah. Yes. This is it. Oh, it's drifted. Oh, that was so close. Ben, this one's seeming like it's New Zealand. Ben, maybe you're better off on this surface here. Do you think we should switch?
Yes. Come. Let's give it a go. Give each other a different angle. Let's go. Let's Yeah. Oh my. Genius, boy. We got the next one coming. Oh my god. This one will be harder. Okay. Shot, boy. Come on. Oh no. You hit it. Let's see what this final boss stage is. It's building. I see something flying in. It's a massive drone. Oh my god.
You have to go through it. This one's going to be hard. Wow. All right. I thought the other ones you had were hard. Good luck, brother. Go. Oh yeah, that was so good. N.
