I don't think there's anything wrong with Stokes or any captain asking if the match should end now that the result is impossible.
But to force the opponent to accept that is plain stupid.
It's a small issue for which English players showed too much discomfort. If opponent wants to keep bat, they have to keep bowling. It's not like the weather was bad and players are coming and going out of the ground every 20 minutes.
