Windies 0/195

Brathwaite 101*

Finished at 0/221 stumps day two
Brathwaite 116* (246)
Chanderpaul 101* (291)

Chanderpauls first test hundred and the first West Indies opener apart from Brathwaite to score a test hundred since Chris Gayle in March 2013. Brathwaite has scored 12 hundreds in that time.

We saw a first-hand look at Chanderpauls' potential talent this summer. The Windies look to have found a genuine test batter. Thats 2 now we have

[jackpot jim]

Brathwaite and Chanderpaul have posted a record 1st wicket partnership for the Windies with 336 surpassing Greenidge & Haynes's 298 v India in 1983
This is the 6th highest partnership for the Windies for all wickets . Hunt & Sobers hold the record with 446 back in 1958 !
Brathwaite was dismissed for 182
Windies currently 3/387 with Chanderpaul 169* n.o.

Windies Declare 6/447

Chanderpaul brought up his double ton with a 6 to finish 207* n.o. which surpasses Shivs' highest Test score of 203 !
Chanderpaul faced a marathon 467 balls a feat that his father Shiv only surpassed once in facing 510 balls against India in 2002 in making 136* n.o. in a marathon 675 minute stay at the crease

Windies won the toss and batting against Zimbabwe

Gary Ballance playing for Zimbabwe.

and gets a ton currently 107*

[DOC]

Windies had Zimbabwe 6/147 and 7/192 but a 135 run 8th wicket partnership saw Zimbabwe finish at 9/379 dec, a lead of 68, thus well and truly avoiding the follow on and taking the Windies winning chance away. Windies crawled to 0/21 off 13 at stumps a lead of 89. This to me says they don't think they can win and won't try for it.

Draw coming up.

Don't forget always a chance of that huge Windies regular batting collapse, get through the openers and anything can and probably will happen

Crawley gone. Got dropped, bowled and then caught in 13 balls. Bloke will be a deadset walking wicket in the ashes if the ball is swinging or seaming.

What are the conditions like there? They are lucky to have scheduled the first test so far north, if it was at Wellington they wouldn't be playing.

At a guess they will play the 2nd one at Bay Oval too.

How good is it the way England are currently playing, their opener just says Duckett, I'm hitting boundaries, currently 79* off of 61 balls.

Pitch isn't as green as you would think either.
