England all-rounder Ben Stokes reveals his brutal best on the 2nd day of the West Indies vs England Test.
At the start of Day 2 at 244/3, England’s Joe Rudd teamed up with Ben Stokes and both were really dangerous for the Caribbean bowlers.
They smashed them into every corner of the field to form a long partnership of 129 runs.
Their long partnership came to an end when Rudd was outplayed by Khmer Rouge with 153 runs at 373/4. Following Root’s wicket, Johnny Barstow came on to bat, along with Stokes, both of whom scored over 400 runs for their team. The West Indies finally sighed with relief after Alsari expelled Burstow by Joseph, and Broadway sent Stokes back. His kitty had 120 runs.
