Brathwaite: England disrespected West Indies by not conceding draw earlier

Carlos Brathwaite believes England’s refusal to shake hands on an early draw in the first Test should give West Indies extra incentive to go on and win the series.

Joe Root's side pressed on until the first ball of the final scheduled over in Antigua, when victory became mathematically impossible - but it had long been apparent that their hopes would be thwarted by fifth-wicket pair Nkrumah Bonner and Jason Holder.

The duo batted together throughout the final session and were rarely troubled on a lifeless pitch as they guided West Indies to safety at 147-4.

West Indies all-rounder Brathwaite told BT Sport: "If I were a senior player in the West Indies dressing room, I would have found it a bit disrespectful that in the last hour, with two set batsmen playing as they were and the pitch offering nothing, England still felt they could get six wickets, going all the way down to five balls left.

"Would England have done that if it were an Ashes Test? Would they have done that against India, New Zealand, Pakistan?

"I think the answer is no, so why have they done it against us?
