(Reuters) - Wicketkeeper Joshua Da Silva scored a maiden test century as West Indies earned an invaluable first-innings lead of 93 runs over England on day three of the deciding test of the series in Grenada on Saturday.
Wicketkeeper Joshua Da Silva scored a maiden test century as West Indies earned an invaluable first-innings lead of 93 runs over England on day three of the deciding test of the series in Grenada on Saturday.
West Indies followed the same path as England to gain a slender 28-run lead on the second day of the third and final Test in Grenada.
Joshua da Silva's unbeaten maiden Test half-century in the Caribbean anchored a West Indies lower-order revival which pushed the home side ahead of England on the second day of the third and final Test on Friday. Replying to the tourists' first innings total of 204, da Silva's unbeaten 54 and vital contributions from Kyle Mayers, Alzarri Joseph and Kemar Roach lifted the home side from the depths of 95 for six to 232 for eight at stumps. While not nearly as dramatic as the last-wicket stand of 90 between Saqib Mahmood and Jack Leach on day one which resuscitated the English from 114 for nine, the West Indian version of tail-end resistance saw 137 runs added for the loss of two wickets.

:West Indies passed England's first innings total just before stumps on Friday, taking a 28-run lead in a curious deciding test that has followed a similar pattern over the first two days in Grenada.
The West Indies tail wagged in a similar way that England's did on the first evening as the hosts earned themselves a 28-run advantage when closing day two of the third Test in Grenada on 232-8.
