Five talking points as Kraigg Brathwaite's monster hundred blunts England's chances of a win

The second Test between England and the West Indies looks to be heading for another draw after Kraigg Brathwaite's mammoth 11-and-a-half hour innings of 160.

After resuming on 288-4 with Brathwaite and nightwatchman Alzarri Joseph at the crease, the West Indies quickly went past 300. The pair put on a fifty-run partnership and continued to chip away at England's lead.

Joseph eventually fell to Ben Stokes for a 75-ball 19, with Dan Lawrence taking a sharp catch at backward point. Jason Holder, who scored a brilliant 202 not out in the last Test these two sides played in Barbados, was the next man in and he and Brathwaite continued to frustrate England's bowlers.
