England falls short of Test victory as West Indies hangs on for draw

The Hindu  

England fell short of victory as West Indies survived for a tense draw despite a top-order collapse on the final day of the first Test in North Sound on Saturday. West Indies still had to survive another 36 overs at that stage, but experienced all-rounder Jason Holder and first-innings century-maker Nkrumah Bonner steadied the ship, surviving until the end at Viv Richards Stadium on the island of Antigua. However, they could not capture the elusive breakthrough that would have earned a crack at the tail, the match finishing with West Indies 147 for four, Holder on 37 and Bonner 38. Earlier, England set West Indies a victory target of 286 runs, declaring in time to give its attack 71 overs to get through the West Indies.
