A plucky unbeaten eighth-wicket stand of 26 runs between Alzarri Joseph and Akeal Hosein staved off the embarrassment of a mindless collapse, in true West Indies fashion. It was a game West Indies lost, won, lost and won again, enduring late, heart-stopping drama, to take a 2-0 lead in the five-match series.
When the hosts lost two wickets in the first four balls of the innings, a shambolic defeat looked imminent. But Nicholas Pooran produced 67 runs off 40 balls to revive their hopes. His departure though precipitated a collapse, as only West Indies could conjure these days, and his side teetered to the edge of another defeat. But Hosein and Joseph displayed composure that the lower-middle order lacked to guide them home. (Read more of the match report from Sandip G)
