Alastair Cook (213 batting) completed his double century as England advanced smoothly to 449 for four at lunch on the second day of the first Test against the West Indies at Edgbaston on Friday.
Dawid Malan recorded his first Test 50 in his third match, and the pair extended its fourth-wicket partnership to 162 against a toothless West Indies attack to put England in a position of total dominance in the day-night Test.
Resuming on 348 for three, Cook and Malan started cautiously but the seam bowlers continued to serve up far too many loose deliveries which were clinically dispatched by the two left-handers.
Cook reached his fourth Test double century with his 30th boundary: a thick edge to third-man off Kemar Roach, which got to the fence after it was misfielded.
