BASSETERRE, St Kitts, CMC – Out-of-favour Test opener Kraigg Brathwaite was closing on a century as Barbados trained their sights on first innings points on the second day of their sixth round clash with Leeward Islands here yesterday.
Responding to the Leewards’ 201 all out, Barbados recovered from a position of 88 for four to close on 184 for four, with the right-handed Brathwaite unbeaten on 86.
He was partnered by all-rounder Kevin Stoute on 54, with whom he has shared a stand of 96 for the fifth wicket.
Earlier, off-spinner Ashley Nurse took all four wickets to fall to finish with career-best figures of six for 89 as the Leewards collapsed from their overnight score of 161 for six in the Regional Four-Day Championship match at Warner Park.
