West Indies and England draw another Test

0

The West Indies and England drew a second straight Test in Barbados, leaving their series to be decided in the third and final test in Grenada.

England didn’t declare its second innings until during the lunch break on Sunday, when it was 185-6 and led by 281 runs at Kensington Oval.

That offered the West Indies 282 runs to win from 65 overs at more than 4 an over. That was no help to the England bowlers, and too steep for the batsmen to attack.

The home side dug in on a pitch with little life in it and, after some early drama, held out for all 65 overs to finish on 135-5 at barely two runs per over. Captain Kraigg Brathwaite, who batted for nearly 12 hours in the first innings for 160, steered the side to safety in the second.
