Kraigg Brathwaite makes ton for Windies
England were frustrated by Kraigg Brathwaite’s composed century as
West Indies had the better of the fourth day of the second Test in
Grenada. His 101 not out took the home side to 202-2, a lead of 37.
Earlier, England moved their overnight 373-6 to 464 all out, with Joe
Root ending unbeaten on 182.
On a pitch that remains lifeless, a draw seems the most likely
result, lengthening England’s wait for a first overseas win since 2012.
If a positive result on the final day is possible, then it is Alastair
Cook’s men who are more likely to earn a 1-0 series lead. However, the
lack of opportunities created in the turgid afternoon and evening
sessions suggest that an attack lacking variety will find it hard to
take the eight wickets required quickly enough for a run-chase to be
undertaken.
“We’ll chase anything, we just need enough time,” Root told BBC
Sport. “We have to have a really good session with the ball in the
morning. “West Indies need need a lot of credit for the way they played
tonight. They were under quite a bit of pressure with lead we had, but
they have got themselves back in the game. BBC Sport |
