England is ahead of the West Indies by 109 runs after limiting the home side to 202-4 on day two
England led the West Indies by 109 runs after limiting the home side to 202-4 on day two of the first test at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium.
Jason Holder and Nkrumah Bonner revived West Indies with a dogged unbeaten stand of 75 runs to early stumps after they were wobbling at 127-4.
The pair took no risks and offered no chances, and safely managed a largely toothless England attack.
Holder, 43 not out, and Bonner, 34 not out, ground out 75 together at just over two runs an over until they were interrupted by a fourth shower and stumps were pulled.
Their stand was in contrast to the innings' breezy start.
The openers, captain Kraigg Brathwaite and the recalled John Campbell, coasted after England was bowled out for 311 from 268-6 overnight.
Brathwaite and Campbell cruised past lunch and hit 13 boundaries and a six until Campbell's demise ended their stand on 83. Campbell was out down the leg side for 35.
