England batsman Ben Stokes had the luckiest of escapes in recent times when a Cameroon Green ball hit his stumps, but he survived as the bails did not come off, prompting legends Shane Warne and Sachin Tendulkar to discuss introduction of a possible new law.

The incident happened on the third day of the fourth Ashes Test on Friday when Australian all-rounder Green bowled one that was angled in and left-handed Stokes had shouldered arms, anticipating that the ball would pass by the stumps.
