England vs West Indies, 2nd Test Day 2: Sibley hits ton; Eng 264-3 at Lunch

Dom Sibley completed his patiently compiled century and Ben Stokes was close to three figures himself Friday as they extended their unbeaten partnership to 183 runs and pressed home England's advantage over the West Indies by lunch on day two of the second Test at Old Trafford.
