England vs West Indies 2nd Test live updates: Ben Stokes reached his 10th test century and powered onto 176 runs before Kemar Roach scalped the England vice-captain just after tea on Day 2 at The Old Trafford, Manchester today. The Stokes' wicket was Roach's first Test wicket after 86.5 overs. Earlier, in post tea session England quickened the pace in search of a big first-innings total against the West Indies cricket team..
England was 378-5 at Tea, with the departure of Dom Sibley for 120 allowing the hosts to increase the miserly run rate in Manchester.

In the middle with Stokes was Jos Buttler, who was on 12 and as a limited-overs specialist might thrive in the environment as he looks for a score to quiet the critics after a poor run of form in test cricket.

England lost two wickets in the middle session, with Sibley's snail-like innings eventually ending when he smashed spinner Roston Chase to Kemar Roach as he ran round from midwicket.

Sibley faced 372 balls for his second highest test score, only behind the 133 he made against South Africa in Cape Town in January.

England vs West Indies 2nd Test: What has happened on Day 1

 
Classic Test batting: Sibley, a right-hand opener content with just sticking around with his cautious style, was joined by Stokes midway through the second session and they plotted their way through 50.4 overs to the close at Old Trafford. Sibley was on 86 not out, his second-highest test score in just his eighth match and Stokes was unbeaten on 59.

Jofra Archer shocker: England began the day by excluding superstar paceman Jofra Archer from the match for breaching isolation protocols, before slumping to 81-3 on a decent batting track after losing the toss and then two batsmen in two balls to Roston Chase's easy offbreaks.
 
Out of sync bowling: West Indies pacers weren't as threatening in gloomy conditions in Manchester as they were at the Rose Bowl a few days ago, with only Alzarri Joseph taking a wicket among them. It was a big one, too, as he enticed a drive from returning England captain Joe Root, who was caught in the slips for 23.
