West Indies 304/6 (90.0 ov) - West Indies won the toss and chose to bat
After losing the first Test against England, West Indies are desperately seeking a series equalizer by returning the favour in the second Test being played at Trent Bridge, Nottingham.
The visitors after winning the toss chose to bat first aiming to post a gigantic total on the board in order to leave the home side flabbergasted.
However, England made early inroads when http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AB-Barath-c886, on nil with just nine runs on the board.
Later, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 had managed to post a mere total of 26 runs on the board.
Just when the partnership between opener KOA Powell and middle-order batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DM-Bravo-c1386 seemed heading in the right direction, Anderson struck for the second time by sending Bravo home on a tally of three. At the time this wicket West Indies were standing on a total of 42 runs.
Then it was time for Broad to strike once more as he nabbed the wicket of Powell, who perished after scoring 33 runs, leaving his side standing on a total of 63.
With four wickets down and not much on the board, England were on top and easing their way into another dominating day.
Nonetheless, the arrival of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/S-Chanderpaul-c2390 and MN Samuels slowly but gradually changed the course of the game as the batsmen halted the bowlers from making any further inroads.
After hammering nine boundaries, Chanderpaul who smashed an innings of 46 runs, fell after getting trapped in front of stumps on a delivery bowled by England’s ace spinner http://www.senore.com/Cricket/GP-Swann-c1501.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/D-Ramdin-c1299, who found his way back after scoring only a run.
Skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJG-Sammy-c1382, then took guard and batted his side back in the game alongside Samuels as West Indies closed the day by posting 304 runs with Samuels on 107 and Sammy on a tally of 88.
