Unbeaten ton by England skipper Joe Root and a powerful knock by Daniel Lawrence gave visitors a stronghold against West Indies on Day 1 of the ongoing second Test here at the Kensington Oval, Bridgetown. At Stumps, England`s score read 244/3 with Joe Root currently standing unbeaten at the crease at the score of 119.
Opting to bat first, the Three Lions got off to a horrendous start as they lost Zak Crawley in the fourth over of the match by Jayden Seales, with the team`s total at 4/1. Opener Alex Heels was then joined by Root and played a brief stint.
