WI vs ENG 3rd Test: England No. 11 Saqib Mahmood delighted to wear down West Indies
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. If England go on to win the Test at the National Cricket Stadium it might well be No. 11 Mahmood's batting rather than his bowling that turns out to be a match-winning performance. In scoring 49 he and Jack Leach (41 not out) not only lifted England to a respectable 204 all out total by the close with their 90-run partnership, but also significantly shifted the mood in the two camps.
