• ‘It was a special, special feeling,’ says five-wicket Kemar Roach
England are prepared for a chastening defeat in the first Test of their Caribbean tour after being blown away for 77 by an inspired West Indies fast-bowling display.
Kemar Roach lit up his home ground with five wickets in only 27 balls, gutting Joe Root’s side as they lost nine for 47 after lunch on the second day. The hosts, having opted not to enforce the follow-on, resume on Friday on 127 for six with their lead already at 339 runs.
