England in the West Indies: the hosts take 85 points ahead on the second day of the second test

England had a frustrating day in Antigua as the West Indies built an 85-run lead in the first set on the second day of the second test.

Kraigg Brathwaite was 49, John Campbell 47 and Shai Hope 41 while the West Indies reached 272-6 at the close.

Darren Bravo showed the necessary patience on hard ground with 33 unbeaten on 165 deliveries.

England, which leads 1-0 in the three-game series, lost three catches and missed several opportunities.

The West Indies showed a lack of patience for English drummers, all but one pounding double digits.

England has rolled well and has beaten the baton many times, but she is already facing a delicate third round on a field of unpredictable rebound.

Was England unlucky or should the public be blamed?

England abandoned its catch one day that had started with the West Indies 30-0 in response to England 187.

Jos Buttler dropped two direct catches on Stuart Broad's third soap opera, while Anderson screamed in his annoyance cap after Rory Burns dropped Shimron Hetmyer to the shelter.

John Campbell and Shane Dowrich were both detained for being trapped behind and lbw respectively, and there were many plays and failures throughout the day.

Broad, who was away for the opening test, was visibly frustrated when the drummers made their way through the security cordon, but he did reap some rewards during the afternoon session.

He claimed two wickets in four balls, Shai Hope taking the lead behind a knife before Roston Chase was shaken by an unplayable performance that remains low.

However, on a terrain that will become increasingly difficult to beat, England could be left behind on its missed opportunities.

The Windies show England a value of patience

Only one English drummer was faced with more than 100 deliveries – and that was Moeen Ali, who beat at seven.

Three of the first four West Indies improved that while they occupied the fold, using the English bowlers with a patient game.

The 70-point partnership between Campbell and Brathwaite – at 200 balls, the longest friendly game of the West Indies against England since 2000 – set the tone, before Campbell was caught at Ben Stokes' slip.

Bravo has shown extraordinary restraint. He only hit two feet in more than four hours at the crease and hurt his arm.

He scored 50 goals with Shane Dowrich before the boxer was overtaken by Broad, and shared an unbroken 36-run stand with captain Jason Holder, who scored 19 goals at the end of the day.

"England needs to put his body in danger" – what they said

Cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew on the BBC Test Match Special podcast: "England gave it all today, but it was not her day." None of the Antilles descents have been easy.

"Broad has beautifully sunk in the face of tremendous frustration – in fact, in general, English bowlers have performed well, but have been left behind by missed opportunities."

The drummer Kraigg Brathwaite on Sky Sports: "These races have been some of the toughest of my career in testing.

"England has gone very well today – they have been disciplined and mixed in some aggression – we have to fight again tomorrow."

Former England captain Alastair Cook on the TMS podcast: "It's amazing how England does not have the wickets – it's there that the merit goes to the West Indies – for their determination to stay."

"You can lose wickets in groups on this field.This will be a very difficult day for tomorrow's England.They must put their bodies in danger."

Melon of England Stuart Broad on Sky Sports: "We have given everything, everyone can raise their heads very high in the locker room.

"We must be the bowling team the fourth day. Everything can happen. We know we are a good team when the pressure is high.

"We need someone to be a bit of a hero with the stick, get a competitive total, and we have enough of a bowling unit to put them under pressure on a fourth day pitch." "
