England's Ben Stokes bludgeoned the second fastest double century in the history of Test cricket, on Day 2 of the ongoing second Test against South Africa in Cape Town. Stokes's 198-ball 258 included as many as 11 towering sixes and 30 boundaries as England amassed a mammoth 629 runs before declaring their innings. Stokes's brutal assault on the hosts sent Twitter in a tizzy and drew applause from all corners.
