@muse Sounded great on Earth, but even better in orbit!

And that's the close on a record-breaking second day at Newlands which belongs to Ben Stokes.

He smoked 258, the second fastest double century in Test history and the highest score by a No. 6 :

in a sixth-wicket record stand of 399 with Jonny Bairstow whom is 150 not out !.

Stokes incredibly down to earth: "I will probably never play like this again. but at least I can say I have done it once."
