SOURCE: AFP: England captain Joe Root and relative newcomer Alex Lees were kept in check by disciplined West Indies bowling in reaching 47 for one at lunch on the opening day of the second Test at Kensington Oval in Barbados on Wednesday
Set back by the early loss of Zak Crawley to Jayden Seales after opting to bat first, Lees found a reassuring partner in Root as the Caribbean pacers strove hard for more success on a docile surface, reminiscent of the placid pitch both sides toiled on in the drawn first Test in Antigua a week earlier.
Root, who compiled a polished 25th Test century in the second innings at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, will resume in the afternoon on 31. (AFP)
