:Captain Joe Root and all-rounder Ben Stokes made contrasting centuries before England declared at 507 for nine wickets shortly after tea on day two of the second test against West Indies on Thursday.
Ben Stokes was in the mood on the second morning of the Barbados Test, overshadowing unbeaten centurion Joe Root as his fearless hitting powered England to a formidable 369 for three at lunch.
England have announced that Saqib Mahmood will make his Test debut in Barbados against the West Indies as a replacement for the injured Mark Wood.
Nkrumah Bonner's considerable reserves of patience and determination paid off with an invaluable second Test century as the West Indies closed the third day of the first Test against England at 373 for nine at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium on Thursday.
Nkrumah Bonner's considerable reserves of patience and determination paid off with an invaluable second Test century as the West Indies closed the third day of the first Test against England at 373 for nine at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium on Thursday. Bonner's innings of 123 spanned more than nine hours and while it will hardly ever be remembered for any attacking style or quality of strokeplay, his effort earned the home side a first innings lead of 62 runs with one wicket in hand going into day four. More than the basic numbers of the match situation though, it could prove to be an important psychological edge, especially as England would have hardly expected to be toiling through an entire day's play after they separated the overnight pair of Bonner and Jason Holder within a few minutes of the start.

Ahead of the start of the three-match Test series against West Indies, England vice-captain Ben Stokes has recalled the Three Lions' crushing 0-4 defeat against Australia in the Ashes. With the first Test starting on Tuesday, March 8, Stokes has reflected on the disappointing Ashes tour Down Under, saying that he "let the team down" during the five-match series against Australia. The star all-rounder, who had taken a six-month break from the game, feels that he could've been in a better shape physically.
