Stokes has hit 100 runs this morning. Has there been 20 overs bowled?

Think the run rate this morning is about 8.5!!

Rolled over at 9:30 to check my phone and just said "wow!" - was downstairs pretty quickly. Pity I missed the first hour!

It's absolutely outrageous from Stokes. He scored 100 runs off his first 55 balls this morning, 1 better than the record for the fastest (proper) Test century. And if he makes a double, it will probably be the second fastest ever (Can't match Astle's 153 balls, but Sehwag's 168 is getable).

he's missed the fastest ever double ton, which is held by Nathan Astle and took him 153 balls apparently

Beefy holds the England record of 220 balls (I think), so if he can get these last 2 runs he'll at least be the fastest ever England double centurion

come on son.... get these last 2 runs

200 off 163

Not bad :)

He has some critics on this board. Wonder if this will change any opinions ?

I'd forgotten what a massive partnership this is. Not sure what our 6th wicket record is, but these two can't be to far away?
