It's all about Steve: Greatest compliment I can pay Dom Sibley is that he looks to be the most methodical Alastair Cook-like run scoring opener for England since Alastair Cook. A breakthrough innings.

This has been a sight for sore eyes. Dom Sibley has done exactly what he needed to do.
Eng 292-4
Incidentally, only one man - Marnus Labuschagne - scored more first-class runs than Dom Sibley anywhere in the world in 2019. The players are taking drinks. Sibley might be celebrating with something bubbly.

Dom Sibley has hit 16 fours, showing he's been very patient but also put away the bad ball well.
This is the slowest Test century for England since Ian Bell's 293-ball ton against India in Nagpur in the final Test of the 2012-13 series.
That was one of the worst pitches ever in Test cricket but Bell's effort secured a draw and a series win.

Theo HV: Well played Sibley... an innings of mental concentration and patience. A proper Test innings.
Daniel: Sibley what a knock! Excellent hundred, well played!
Tom: Dom Sibley, absolutely class innings. Finally do we have an opener who can open?!

There it is! Ben Stokes celebrated first. Now the two batsmen embrace. A terrific effort by Dom Sibley, he's done exactly what he had to do.
Stokes has taken the pressure off him this morning and he's just carried on.

Oh yes!
Well batted, Dominic Sibley!
He sweeps (yes, sweeps) Keshav Maharaj to the boundary for a moment he will never forget - his maiden Test century.
Huge cheers from the Barmies, a hug from Ben Stokes and a punch of the air.
If you put him with Rory Burns, do England finally have an opening pair?

Kicked away....

Dom Sibley can earn his chocolate bar here, like how Steve Smith rewards himself after getting to a ton.
Sibley gets his chance. Four balls of Maharaj's over remaining...

When was the last time England still had an opener in for the second new ball?

Sibley 99, Stokes 50
At the other end, Dom Sibley's quest for a century continues. With an edge between second slip and gully going to the third man boundary, he's on to 99. The end of the over. He'll have to wait.

This is the fifth fastest Test match half-century by an England batsman.
Ian Botham holds the record - 28 balls against India at Delhi in 1981.
Eng 278-4
What entertainment. Ben Stokes goes to his 21st Test half-century from 34 balls.
And what could come? A hundred before lunch?

Joe De Souza: Ben Stokes is the only Brit who woke up ready to work on the first Monday of 2020.
Sibley 95, Stokes 49
Stokes won't match that second-fastest 32-ball mark of Botham. His 32nd delivery is reverse-swept for a couple, cut off at the third man boundary. I don't know what the third-fastest half-century for an England player is...
#bbccricket
Rob Sankey: I want what ever Ben Stokes has had for breakfast.
Stokes has 45 from 30 balls. Ian Botham made England's fastest Test fifty, off 28. Botham also has the second-fastest, off 32.
