England put West Indies under early pressure in the opening Test on Thursday, but the new video referral system brought the day into sharper focus.
Simon Katich fashioned his third Test hundred and overshadowed the 10 000-run milestone of captain Ricky Ponting to lead a solid Australia batting performance on the first day of the second Test against West Indies on Friday. Katich was undefeated on 113 as Australia reached 259-3 in their first innings when bad light stopped play.
Shivnarine Chanderpaul received a precautionary brain scan after he was struck on the back of his head off Brett Lee’s bowling to score his 18th Test hundred on the third day of the opening Test between West Indies and Australia on Saturday. The 33-year-old Chanderpaul was on 86 and trying to evade a sharply rising delivery from Lee, when he received the excruciating blow.
West Indies coach John Dyson hailed his side’s bowling late on the third day of the opening Test which sank Australia to 17 for four in their second innings on Saturday at Sabina Park. But he urged the batsmen in the side to follow the example of long-standing left-hander Shivnarine Chanderpaul, whose 118 in the first innings led West Indies to 312, replying to the Aussies’ first innings total of 431.
Stuart Clark cut down West Indies’ top-order batting with his steady, accurate, if not menacing fast-medium bowling to tighten Australia’s grip on the opening Test on Friday. Clark has so far collected three wickets for 18 runs from eight overs, as West Indies, replying to Australia’s first innings total of 431, reached 115 for three.
