CRICKET-WIS/ENG-Hetmyer falls short of hundred as Windies dismissed for 289

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, CMC – Left-hander Shimron Hetmyer perished for 81 as West Indies folded for 289 in their first innings, just shy of the first hour on the second day of the opening Test against England here Thursday.

Resuming on 56 with the Windies on 264 for eight, the 22-year-old was last out after facing 109 balls in just over 2-½ hours, striking nine fours and two sixes.

He edged a heave at seamer Ben Stokes and was caught by wicketkeeper Ben Foakes jumping high to his left.

Hetmyer had earlier extended his ninth wicket stand with Alzarri Joseph to 25 before the two were separated, 50 minutes into the day’s play when Joseph edged fast bowler James Anderson to Jos Buttler at third slip.
