WI vs Eng | Root, Lawrence take England to strong 244/3 on day one

WI vs Eng | Root, Lawrence take England to strong 244/3 on day one

The Hindu
Thursday, March 17, 2022 12:40 AM GMT

Root remained unbeaten on 119 while Lawrence fell for 91

Joe Root compiled his second straight century, an unbeaten 119, as England batted their way to a commanding position in the second Test against West Indies in Barbados on Wednesday.

Even though Dan Lawrence fell for 91 with the final ball of the first day, England took the honours after winning the toss, reaching 244 for three at stumps on a flat Kensington Oval pitch in Bridgetown.

The strip was criticised by several ex-players in the commentary box for being too docile.

After a draw on a slow track in Antigua last week, many hoped for a livelier strip on a ground where none of the seven previous Tests were drawn, not that Root had any complaints after making his 25th Test century.

He could, though, have been out relatively cheaply, the captain surviving a dropped caught-behind chance on 34, which came not long after he appeared to nick a Jason Holder delivery to the wicketkeeper.

West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite opted not to review the on-field not out call.

Serenaded by a singing Barmy Army that periodically chanted "Joe Root" to the tune of the Beatles' Hey Jude, the No. 3 worked the ball around at will.
