England Test captain Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum hit the ball long and hard as the pair were involved in a six-hitting competition in Rawalpindi ahead of the 3rd Test against Pakistan. Both McCullum and Stokes stepped out of the crease repeatedly to hit the ball as long as possible.

It's worth noting that Stokes and McCullum are in top two for most sixes in Test cricket with 131 and 107, respectively. The pair, known for their aggressive strokeplay, joined hands in 2022 to take charge of the Test side and have done considerably well thus far.

Meanwhile, below is the video of McCullum and Stokes engaging in a six-hitting competition:

Meanwhile, captain Stokes stated that he is ready to bowl at full tilt in the Rawalpindi Test and feels fitter than he did before the previous match. The all-rounder believes the conditions will be good for batting in Rawalpindi for the first two days and said, as quoted by BBC Sport:

"It was good to get through it. I have put myself through my paces at training, bowled two spells. Coming in and being one of only two seamers, I'm fully confident that I'll be able to get more out of myself this week than I did last week. There's not too much grass to hold everything together. It will be interesting to see how it goes. It will be a pretty good wicket for the first couple of days, at least."

England won the opening Test, but Pakistan hit back to level the series in the second.
