Live Cricket Score of West Indies vs England, 2nd Test, Day 5 at St George's, Grenada

Joe Root scored a superb unbeaten 182 to help England take a 165-run lead. But, West Indies were solid in their reply as Kraigg Brathwaite came up with a composed 101 not out in the second innings to help the hosts end day 4 with a 37-run lead. Darren Bravo played a supporting role, scoring 69 in a second-wicket partnership worth 142 runs. Marlon Samuels then showed good application, scoring 22 and putting on an unbeaten 57-run stand with Brathwaite to keep England at bay.

On a flat pitch, England bowlers struggled and did not find much success. James Anderson and Co. will have to pull up their socks and come up with a renewed effort if they are to prevent West Indies from walking away with another draw. Meanwhile, the hosts will be hoping that Brathwaite and Samuels can continue their good work and add to England's frustration.

The first session will be crucial for both teams. England will be hoping to separate the second wicket pair as soon as possible and they will be eager to do as much damage as possible with the second new ball, which is five overs away. However, they will have to contend with the likes of Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Jermaine Blackwood and Denesh Ramdin. Unless West Indies suffer a mighty collapse, a second draw on the trot is the likely outcome.
