Englands in-form all-rounder Ben Stokes admits he has suffered more finding food than with opposition bowlers on the tour of India. Stokes revealed, ahead of the second Test in Visakhapatnam, his sole appetite once he has begun batting is for runs and that an unbeaten score means an empty stomach if the lunch or tea interval arrives.The Durham star was one of Englands most impressive performers in the first Test draw in Rajkot, scoring 128 in his first innings and, of course, laying off his food even in the knowledge it might affect his health. India vs England November 17, 2016, 3:30am Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass I cant eat when Im not out, I dont know why, he said. Our physio, and strength and conditioning and doctor were trying to force-feed me pretty much.But I literally cant eat, not even a protein shake or anything. Ive never been able to do it.That was the reason for the cramp, so theyre pretty much on my case to make sure I eat whenever I can. Watch some of the best moments from the drawn first Test between India and England on Sky Sports It doesnt really affect you in England because it is always freezing...and cramping up does relate back to not eating.Stokes is also having to deal with a dislike for the local fare on offer in India, at least when he is not occupying the crease and unable to eat anyway. Could England recall James Anderson or Jos Buttler for the second Test against India? The Verdict panel has its say I dont like this type of food. I was trying to eat naan bread, daal and rice. But I cant eat anything - not a banana, nothing, he added.It was hot, and I was cramping up towards the end and had to go off when we went out to field.But Stokes is pleased to see the rewards coming for his hard work with batting coaches Mark Ramprakash and Graham Thorpe, two players with huge experience of sub-continent cricket. Stokes was one of Englands star performers in a draw which almost turned into a day five win Its good to know I can play the different role to the one people associate with me, trying to hit fours and sixes once I get past a certain score - that I can stay in there when it is different conditions, he said.Ive always known I can hit the big shots, so Ive tightened up the other things which dont come as easy - the defensive side of it and rotating the strike. Zafar Ansari says Englands performance in the first Test against India has given them extra belief they can win the series I was doing sessions of not getting out, playing defensively ... no matter what the ball was. As nets progressed, I starting getting into a few more attacking shots.Putting the hard work into something Ive always known and always been told I need to work on, its a good feeling to then go out and do it against the best bowler in the world in [Ravi] Ashwin and the best team in the world. I think thats the best feeling Ill have - all the work I have done is showing up.

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. -- The top five players on the PGA Tour this season should be plenty rested going into the FedEx Cup playoffs.Most of them havent played since the PGA Championship three weeks ago.Thats because most of them didnt go to the Olympics.Jason Day is the No. 1 player in the world and No. 1 in the FedEx Cup, narrowly moving past U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson on the strength of his runner-up finish at the PGA Championship. They are followed by Adam Scott, Russell Knox and Jordan Spieth.Knox won the Travelers Championship a week after the PGA Championship, but with a chance to earn Ryder Cup points last week, the Scot decided he needed a rest.The playoffs begin Thursday at The Barclays, which returns to Bethpage Black.At the end of this five-week bonanza is a $10 million bonus to the winner. Thats still a long way off. For now, there is plenty to keep their attention.RYDER CUP QUALIFYING: The Barclays is the final week for American players to earn points -- one point for every $1,000 in PGA Tour earnings -- toward getting one of the eight automatic spots on the Ryder Cup team.Five already have been decided -- Johnson, Spieth, Phil Mickelson, PGA champion Jimmy Walker and Brooks Koepka. Brandt Snedeker tied for third last week to move up to No. 6 and would appear to be safe. He is ahead of Zach Johnson and Patrick Reed, the lone Olympian from that group.The purse at The Barclays is $8.5 million, so nothing is set except for whos not going to make it. Charley Hoffman at No. 22 is the last player who has a mathematical shot, and its a long shot at that.As for Rickie Fowler? He would have to finish no worse than a two-way tie for fourth.THE POINTS: The PGA Tour made a slight tweak to the points system for the FedEx Cup playoffs. Points are quadrupled for the next three weeks, instead of being five times their normal value in previous years.The hope is that it allows for volatility in these big events, without someone far down in the pack having one good week and being locked in for the Tour Championship.The top 125 qualify for the playoffs, and then its a matter of attrition.The top 100 in the FedEx Cup staandings advance to the second playoff event next week at the Deutsche Bank Championship; the top 70 advance to the BMW Championship the following week at Crooked Stick outside Indianapolis.dddddddddddd. The top 30 move on to the Tour Championship at East Lake in Atlanta.THE COURSE: Bethpage Black rose to prominence when the public golf course hosted the U.S. Open in 2002, and Tiger Woods held off Sergio Garcia and Mickelson to win his second U.S. Open. It hosted another U.S. Open in 2009, when Lucas Glover won in a rain-delayed finish.Now its on the rotation for the FedEx Cup playoffs, with Nick Watney winning The Barclays in 2012.The course is famous for its warning sign on the first tee: The Black Course is an extremely difficult course which we recommend only for highly skilled golfers.It should say its a risk even for really good players, Spieth said. The course Ive played the last two days is up there with the hardest, probably top-five courses Ive ever played in my life. And its Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, and its soft.THE BUBBLE: Jim Furyk (No. 94) and Steve Stricker (No. 98) did well to make it to the playoffs because of their limited schedules -- Stricker only plays a dozen times a year, and Furyk started late because of wrist surgery.All it takes is one good week to keep advancing. If they miss the cut, odds are they wont stay in the top 100.Among those outside the top 100 are Keegan Bradley at No. 106. Happy to be here is Shawn Stefani, who tied for 14th last week to move into the top 125 (at No. 123) and even have a chance.PLAYER OF THE YEAR: The FedEx Cup figures to sort out who will be the front-runner for PGA Tour player of the year.Major champions typically get the vote from the players, but there are four of them this year -- Danny Willett, Dustin Johnson, Henrik Stenson and Jimmy Walker. Jason Day won The Players Championship and leads the tour with three victories, so he cant be ruled out.Day believes he only has to win two events to be voted player of the year. ' ' '
