Scorecard 

Ben Stokes and Dom Sibley hit centuries to move England into a prevailing situation on day two of the second Test against West Indies.

England on Friday continued their domination on Day 2 of their second Test against West Indies at Old Trafford.

The third session of the day started with Stokes and Jos Buttler looking to score at a quick rate.

After Ben Stokes’ 176, which was part of an epic 260-run partnership with Dom Sibley, Dom Bess, and Stuart Broad added 42 for the last wicket before the hosts declared on 469/9.

The West Indies then lost opener John Campbell and at stumps, they are 32/1 with Kraig Brathwaite in the middle with night watchman Alzarri Joseph.

He, however, did not last too long after Tea. After Buttler hit chase for three fours, Stokes looked to go after Kemar Roach in the next.

He, however, ended up edging him to Shane Dowrich behind the wickets while trying to reverse slap a length delivery.

Feeds proceeded with his heavenly structure - this was his fourth hundred of every 12 Tests - and played some shimmering strokes after arriving at three figures before falling for a brilliant 176.

Opener Sibley got back on track on the very beginning, persistently involving the wrinkle for a second Test ton before he also hoped to quicken and was trapped in the profound on the leg side for 120.

Between them, the fourth-wicket pair shared 260, England's biggest association on home soil for a long time.

Jos Buttler included 40 preceding England at long last pronounced on 469-9 at Emirates Old Trafford.

Off-spinner Roston Chase got 5-172 for the depleted West Indies, who were smoothed in the wake of winning the toss and deciding to bowl.

Britain left themselves an hour to bowl, with Sam Curran catching John Campbell as West Indies arrived at 32-1, 437 behind.

It implies England has a prime chance to level the arrangement at 1-1, yet they should be aware of the climate, with downpour gauge for Saturday.
