Stokes century revives England against Netherlands
Ben Stokes scored his maiden World Cup hundred as he rescued England from a top-order collapse against the Netherlands in Pune on Wednesday.
A reverse swept four off paceman Paul van Meekeren saw Stokes, battling a longstanding knee injury, to the landmark in 78 balls, including five sixes.
Reigning champions England, rock-bottom of the 10-team table, were 192-6 when Stokes was joined in the middle by fellow all-rounder Chris Woakes (51) but the pair's stand of 129 took the total past 300.
