CAPE TOWN: Opener Dom Sibley struck a patient maiden century and Ben Stokes produced fireworks at the other end as England raced to 375 for seven at lunch on the fourth day of the second test against South Africa on Monday.
Sibley will resume on 125 not out from 299 balls after playing anchor around which others have been able to play with freedom, and is at the crease with Sam Curran . His hundred was met by an almighty roar from the sizeable travelling English support, even if it took him 269 balls to get there.Stokes was providing plenty of entertainment at the other end as he took on the task of providing the quick runs England want to build a big enough lead and still have enough time to bowl South Africa out a second time.
Newlands remains a happy hunting ground for Stokes, though, after he scored his career-best 258 at the ground in 2016.
