Ton-up Root puts England on top

An unbeaten 118 for England's Joe Root steered his team to 373 for six at stumps on the third day of the second test against the West Indies in Grenada on Thursday, a lead of 74 runs.

And that is that, the close of play. Root getting handshakes from the West Indians, excellent to see.  8)


Root the star with a superb hundred, his first overseas in Tests !!

Root ended a warm day's work unbeaten on 118 despite a back that was "stiff and sore"

                   

UProot this chap early and clean up the Tail.

Lead of 74
