Can't give away free wickets like that and expect to win. Great rear guard fightback from West Indies today to all but assure a draw especially on a wicket this flat. Bratwaite continues his impressive start to his Test career and looks like someone the West Indies can build around.

a big day today

224 - 3

81.1
Anderson to Brathwaite, OUT, breakthrough! Terrific short ball, and it's lobbed to gully. Climbs towards Brathwaite's throat,

he had to play, fended at it with bat and gloves, the ball took the shoulder of the bat into the cordon.

Excellent delivery to extract that life from this surface. The new ball works.

Brathwaite c Root b Anderson 116 (252b 14x4 0x6) SR: 46.03
 

85.4
Anderson to Chanderpaul, the edge goes to Bell at second slip, at waist height, who parries it up in the air -

he should have caught it - and Cook manages to grab the rebound,

himself at the second attempt, flinging himself backwards and to his right at first slip.

Chanderpaul c Cook b Anderson 7 (16b 1x4 0x6) SR: 43.75
