Is it a bit high?
Well, Dom Sibley hasn't hit it, but it's a bit high...
Oh, Kemar Roach likes this!
He thwaps Dom Sibley on the pad, pleads, and then turns to Jason Holder and nods. We're going upstairs.

It is hard when you have been playing carefully to suddenly accelerate but if anyone can Ben Stokes can.
I think it is time to push on.
Ten fours and one six for Ben Stokes, who reached his century from 255 balls.

That's Ben Stokes for you! A reverse sweep. It has been a marathon, it really has.
He is a remarkable man.
Eng 268-3
And there it is!
What a lovely way to make a century - reverse-sweeping Roston Chase calmly away for four. He jogs through and smiles at the dressing room, who are giving him a standing ovation, before celebrating with a slightly bent finger, as a tribute to his dad.
Dot.
Dot.
Now then.
Ben Stokes, on 99, has got Roston Chase in his sights...
Athers reckons that Shannon Gabriel, who was not having much fun yesterday, is not on the field.
Meanwhile, Kemar Roach, still searching for his first wicket of the series, wheels through a maiden to Dom Sibley. An enthusiastic but unsuccesful lbw appeal ends the over. High?
Right. Cricket!
Here's Kemar Roach.

The food in the hotel was very good last night. I've had steak and chips two nights in a row - perfect!
And here is the moment Dom Sibley reached his second Test century and his first on home soil.

Reg Cotterill: Played 1st game in 30 years last summer. Tried to bowl left arm over like the old days, but 25 year old side-on inswing action didn't work because the new beer belly was swinging the other way, and I couldn't land it on strip. Two wide wides, and went round the wicket.

Jon Purdey: If there was a film of Sibley’s innings “The Longest Day” or “Mission ImposSibley”.
Thanks, Matt. That's the sort of dedication I look for in my co-workers.
