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.
