West Indies batsman Marlon Samuels claimed "the English boys don't learn" after a verbal confrontation with Ben Stokes inspired him to compile an unbeaten 94 on the first day of the second Test in Grenada.
Samuels and Stokes shared words in the middle as the hosts rallied to reach 188-5 at stumps after bad light forced play to end early.
The 34-year-old made a century against England at Trent Bridge in 2012, claiming afterwards a bout of sparring with James Anderson spurred him on to his ton.
And with Samuels closing in on his seventh Test hundred, he now has Stokes in his sights.
"Ben Stokes basically is battling himself because he's just coming into cricket and I've been around for a while," he said.
"It's obvious the English boys don't learn because whenever they talk to me I continue scoring runs. But they keep on talking, I guess they can't help it.
"It all depends on how tomorrow goes... Marlon Samuels 150, Ben Stokes with the ball in his hand. It will be very interesting.
"I kept on telling him but tomorrow I probably have to tell him something different because he's not listening. He keeps talking to me but it keeps me motivated and keeps me batting."
England bowler Chris Jordan, who took the wickets of Devon Smith and Jermaine Blackwood on a difficult pitch for seam bowling, was happy to see Stokes and Samuels facing off.
"Stokesy likes to get in a battle and what you saw was two cricketers going at it for their country, I guess that makes for good viewing," he said.
"That kind of stuff makes Stokesy tick. Any time he's in a battle all 11 of us are going to back him.
"It's good to see two cricketers going at it without crossing the line. Hopefully we will see much more of that tomorrow."
