Nkrumah Bonner’s (123) considerable reserves of patience and determination paid off with an invaluable second Test century before West Indies were bowled out for 375—a lead of 64 runs—on Day Four of the first Test against England at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium here on Friday.

In reply, England reached 72-1 in their second essay at lunch. “We worked really hard on our batting during the camp ahead of this series, so I wasn’t surprised to see the resistance from the lower-order batters, which was very important in putting us in the position we are in,” Bonner said at stumps on Thursday.
