The West Indies ' brains trust came to the fore on day three of the second Test against England in Barbados, with captain Kraigg Brathwaite and vice-captain Jermaine Blackwood both scoring hundreds as they shared a crucial 183-run partnership.
After the West Indies resumed on 71-1 with Brathwaite and Shamarh Brooks building a solid partnership, England got an early breakthrough within the first half hour courtesy of Jack Leach. The spinner, who did find some encouragement on day two, got Brooks caught for 39 when the batter inexplicably slapped a wide delivery straight to Chris Woakes at point.
Nkrumah Bonner, who was named player of the match in the previous Test after a brilliant century, then joined Brathwaite at the crease. However, he only managed nine runs this time, with Ben Stokes getting him out lbw.
