West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite fell short of a second century Thursday but helped his team to a commanding position after the fourth day of the second cricket Test against Sri Lanka at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua.
Brathwaite followed his 126 in the West Indies’ first innings of 354 with 85 which, along with half-centuries to Kyle Mayers and Jason Holder, allowed him to declare his team’s second innings at 280 for four, a lead of 376.
Brathwaite called his batsmen in just after 4:40 pm, giving the West Indies around 38 minutes to bowl at Sri Lanka before stumps. Holder was left 71 not out, having shared a late 53-run partnership with Joshua da Silva who was 20 not out.
