Matthew Fisher claimed a wicket with his second ball in Test cricket but West Indies rallied to be 71 for one, after England extended their first innings to a mammoth 507 for nine declared on the second day of the second Test in Barbados on Thursday.

West Indies were 71 for one at stumps on day two at Kensington Oval, 436 runs behind England, for whom Joe Root (153) and Ben Stokes (120) made contrasting centuries. West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite displayed good discipline, unbeaten on 28 at the close, while Shamarh Brooks survived a couple of poor shots to be 31 not out.
