  • Samuels century grinds England down

    Marlon Samuels' third Test century and further resistance from the captain, Darren Sammy, who beat his previous Test-best score, helped West Indies recover from a perilous position halfway through the first day at Trent Bridge and shift the pressure on to England.
    The pair put on an unbroken seventh-wicket partnership of 168 - a record in Tests at Trent Bridge and for West Indies against England - to haul the tourists back from 136 for 6 after winning the toss and choosing to bat. By the close, early England breakthroughs from James Anderson and Stuart Broad were a distant memory, as West Indies almost doubled their score during a punishing evening session.
    Bismillah, alhamdulillah, all praises due to Allah and may Allah increase the honor of Prophet Muhammad and protect our nation from any harm.
