Stokes was eventually dismissed for exactly 100 -- his sixth Test century -- with Kemar Roach (4-71) and Shannon Gabriel (4-51) the main wicket-takers as West Indies put their first-Test rout behind them. England's batsmen rode their luck and Root's half-century was his 12th in successive Tests -- equalling the world record of South Africa's AB de Villiers. At the other end, Stokes motored on, adding 64 runs with Moeen Ali in 10 overs after tea before Moeen was caught slashing to cover. England's last three wickets fell for no runs off 10 balls, leaving West Indies, who had lost 19 wickets in a day in the first Test, to face England's Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad in overcast conditions. But West Indies held on to give provide themselves with a good platform on which to build on Saturday.
