ST GEORGE�S (GRENADA), April 23 (AFP): A last-wicket partnership of 52 lifted the West Indies to 299 all out in their first innings on the stroke of tea on the rain-affected second day of the second Test against England.
Devendra Bishoo (30) and Shannon Gabriel (20) got their Test-best scores in lifting the home side from 247 for nine after Marlon Samuels� dismissal for a determined 103 triggered a lower-order collapse as the tourists� seamers made effective use of the second new ball yesterday.
Stuart Broad led the English effort, taking four for 47, while James Anderson and Chris Jordan claimed two wickets each.
It was left to Moeen Ali to end the West Indies innings, trapping Bishoo leg-before to set the stage for what could be an intriguing final session of the day.
