edge off

Stokes would have had a wicket had he appealed for an undetected edge off Rachin Ravindra.

New Zealand captain Tom Latham shelled three of the drops and his fortune did not improve with an edge off Woakes to second slip Brook for one.

Their fielding was sometimes sloppy - they failed to review Ravindra's edge off Stokes when he had 20 and the skipper's drop of Phillips is growing in importance.

Eddie has now been prescribed a sedative medication to help him stay calm through firework season, but Amanda said though it helps, it only "takes the edge off".

While some Angelenos fill their stomachs to calm their nerves, proponents of the “Emotional Freedom Technique” take the edge off by executing a series of esoteric stress-relief exercises.
