England cricketer Joe Root.
At stumps, which was declared early on Day 1 due to bad light, England were 258/4 following an unbeaten 136-run partnership between Buttler and Pope.
Buttler and Pope took advantage of the situation as they scored at a brisk rate. The 100-run partnership between the two came off just 175 balls. The West Indies took the second new ball, but the umpires had to call the players off just after three overs due to bad light.
Earlier, the West Indies were in the driver’s seat throughout the first two sessions as they kept England on a tight leash with regular wickets. Hosts captain Joe Root was dismissed just before Lunch, and in the second session, talismanic all-rounder Ben Stokes was bowled by Kemar Roach.
The three-Test series is currently level at 1-1.
Brief scores: England 258/4 (Ollie Pope 91 not out, Rory Burns 57; Roach 2/56)’.
