Stokes puts England in charge against Windies

Manchester - The hosts accelerated to a commanding 378-5 at tea on day two

Ben Stokes was 172 not out as England accelerated to a commanding 378-5 at tea on day two of the second Test against West Indies at Old Trafford on Friday.
Stokes and Dom Sibley had dug in before lunch to frustrated the West Indies attack but Stokes cut loose with a flurry of boundaries after the interval. 
Sibley, who reached his second test century before lunch, was eventually dismissed for 120, caught by Kemar Roach at deep mid-wicket off the bowling of Roston Chase. 
England began the day on 207-3 and added only 57 in the day's opening session as the West Indies attack stifled the run rate in muggy conditions helping swing bowling.
