2
nd Day between the Kiwis and
the Islanders begin with Bradley-John Watling and Tim Southee on the crease.
They continued to bat on but the
38 runs
partnership ended up with the dismissal of
Tim Southee as he was dismissed by
Darren Sammy on 21 runs. Watling was in no mode of giving up as he
established another 49 runs partnership with Ish Sodhi who went back to
pavilion after scoring a valuable 27 runs. He was victimized by Tino Best. No
sooner,
Wagner also went for a
Duck on the bowl of Tino Best.
Trent Boult also made a valuable
contribution of
38 runs but the KIWI
innings finally ended up with the departure of
BJ Watling after playing a cameo of
65 runs. He was Bowled out by
Shannon
Gabriel. This sealed up the Kiwi Innings at a total of
441 runs. Tino Best got 4 wickets, Shannon Gabriel and Darren Sammy got
2 wickets each while Shane Shillingford and Narsingh Deonarine got wicket
a-piece.
West Indies started firmly as they
opened up Kirk Edwards and Keiron
Powell. Both of them put together 46
runs but the tiny partnership ended up with the departure Keiron Powell(21 runs) as he fell to Tim Southee. It took no longer for Corey Anderson to dismiss Darren Bravo on only 4 runs. Another
tiny partnership was on its way involving Kirk Edwards and Marlon Samuels but it soon ended up as Kirk Edwards(55 runs) was shown the way
to pavilion by Corey Anderson again. No
sooner it took for Trent Boult to
get rid of Shivnarine Chanderpaul for 6
runs only.
Then the deck was
steadied by Marlon Samuels(50* runs) and
Narsingh Deonarine(11* runs). All of the stuff ended up just before lunch as rain stepped in and
never went away till the end of the day. Both the batsmen still stand on
the crease at a total of 158 runs/4
wickets. Still a lot needed by the West Indians. Let’s see if the Windies
can enter the lead or it’s the KIWIS who
dominate the match........
