RUN RAMPAGE AS BEN STOKES SIZZLES IN CAPE TOWN SUN

3/1/2016

0 Comments

 
Ben Stokes, 74 not out overnight, led a magnificent England run fest, smashing his way to an unbeaten 162 as South Africa's bowlers wilted in the sizzling Cape Town sun. England piled on 103 before drinks on day two, with Stokes becoming the first Englishman since MJK Smith in 1965 to make a century at Newlands.
Stokes hit four sixes and 22 fours in his 162*, sharing a double-century partnership with Jonny Bairstow (77*). England were 450-5 off 103 overs, an innings which contained five maximums and 56 fours. They were 223-5 just after tea yesterday.
