Arriving with england on 71 for four, Ben Stokes cracked exactly 100 but West Indies fought back superbly to bowl out the hosts for 258 before the tourists closed on 19 for one.
Stokes, who was dropped twice, said: ‘to do well you need that bit of luck on your side.’
it has been labelled a freak show by critics but MayweatherMcgregor has captured the imagination of fans around the world and could prove to be the most lucrative fight in history. american Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather is defending his unbeaten record against UFc cage fighter conor Mcgregor from ireland, who is making his boxing debut.
they have spent weeks trading insults in the build-up to tonight’s fight in Las Vegas, which is set to smash the £483million generated by Mayweather’s ‘fight of the century’ against Manny Pacquiao in 2015.
