Brathwaite, Bravo puts West Indies in control

India TV News  

PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad: Opener Kraigg Brathwaite stroked a maiden century and left-hander Darren Bravo also notched three figures Tuesday as the West Indies dominated day two of the second cricket Test against New Zealand at the Queen's Park Oval. He struck 13 boundaries off 258 balls in six hours, 20 minutes.Bravo, in front of a modest home crowd which included his older brother, West Indies one-day captain Dwayne, smashed 109, with 11 fours and four sixes. The 25-year-old's sixth Test century spanned 155 deliveries and 198 minutes.The pair shared a partnership of 182, a fourth wicket record for the Caribbean side against New Zealand, who claimed just four wickets all day.There was early encouragement for the tourists as nightwatchman Sulieman Benn was snared by seamer Tim Southee in the fifth over of the day to reduce the home team to 16-2.But Kirk Edwards quickly shifted the momentum, hitting an aggressive 55 off 64 balls and dominating a third wicket stand of 93 with fellow Barbadian Brathwaite.Once he was belatedly introduced, leg-spinner Ish Sodhi claimed Edwards to an outside edge just before lunch at 109-3. Trent Boult ended Brathwaite's long vigil just before stumps as the determined right-hander miscued a drive for a return catch.Summarised close scores:New Zealand 1st Innings 221..West Indies 1st Innings 310-5..
