An unbroken fifth wicket partnership of 75 between Nkrumah Bonner and Jason Holder helped West Indies reach the close at 202 for four in reply to England’s first innings total of 311 on the second day of the first Test at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua on Wednesday.
West Indies fast bowler Jayden Seales grabbed Four wickets
After a brief rain delay in day two, England progressed to 285 after starting day two on 268/6. Seales then struck twice in one over.
He first removed Chris Woakes for 28, as the right-hander failed to cope with a bouncer and could only manage to glove the ball to wicket-keeper Joshua Da Silva.
Seales snatched another wicket when Nkrumah Bonner took a sharp catch fielding at short leg to dismiss Overton for duck.
