After a hapless and dejected show in the first Test, the West Indies bowlers looked much better on the opening day of the second Test at Headingley. Shannon Gabriel and Kemar Roach both picked up four wickets each to leave England in trouble at 152/6 but Ben Stokes rallied the troops to ensure a respectable 258 before the hosts were bowled out. In response, West Indies batted bravely and cautiously to stand at 19/1 at stumps with Kieron Powell back in the pavilion.
England vs West Indies, 2nd Test Day 2: West Indies 305/5…Shai Hope registered maiden Test hundred. Kraigg Brathwaite went on to score his hundred while Hope too showed resistance and notched up a half-century to lead West Indies’ fightback in first innings at Headingley.
