Stokes lashes century as England declare at 507-9 in Barbados

Ben Stokes followed captain Joe Root with a century to allow England to declare against the West Indies on 507-9 on the second day Thursday of the second Test at Kensington Oval.

West Indies was 71-1 in reply, John Campbell giving Matthew Fisher a wicket with the second ball of his Test career.

Root improved from 119 overnight to 153, but played second fiddle to Stokes, who dominated their stand of 129 as he made a belligerent 120 from 128 balls.
