An unlikely last-wicket stand of 90 between Jack Leach and Saqib Mahmood kept England alive on day one of their series decider in the West Indies, but a strong bowling performance will be needed to cash in on their hard work.
England recovered from the brink of disaster thanks to a 10th-wicket stand of 90 between Jack Leach and Saqib Mahmood, to be all out for 204 at stumps on day one in the series decider in Grenada. It was a modest total but still way better than the visitors could have dreamed of when they were 114 for nine, after earlier being 67 for seven. In his second Test, tailender Mahmood (49) made not only his highest first-class score, but the equal third-highest by an England No. 11. The bespectacled Leach was equally impressive in scoring 41 not out after being dropped on 10 by Kyle Mayers at first slip, a regulation chance that might come back to haunt the hosts.
England tailender Saqib Mahmood was pleased to get his highest first-class score but even more delighted to wear West Indies "into the ground" on day one of the deciding test in the series in Grenada on Thursday (Mar 24).

England’s batting flopped on day one of their series decider against the West Indies before a last-wicket stand between Jack Leach and Saqib Mahmood dragged them back from the brink.
Saqib Mahmood bailed England out with the best batting performance of his career, proving his team-mates wrong for a lack of faith in his last-wicket stand with Jack Leach.
