Stuart Broad eclipses Kapil Dev, Nasser Hussain remembers yesteryear, Darren Bravo digs in on a decidedly difficult deck - all you need to know from day two of the second Test in Antigua.
The Report
It was a day of frustration for England's bowlers as Windies ground out a first-innings lead of 85 runs on day two in Antigua, writes Sam Drury.
The tourists dropped three catches, two off the impressive Stuart Broad (3-42) and the other off James Anderson, while there were numerous near-misses as the Windies closed on 272-6 to strengthen their grip on the second Test.
England's seamers pressed and probed unrelentingly on an unpredictable surface, but although no Windies batsman reached 50, in Kraigg Brathwaite (49) and Darren Bravo (33no from 165 balls), in particular, the hosts had the players willing to take their time and wear England down in painstaking fashion.
Moment of the Day
The 60th over as Broad bowled beautifully.
Having been frustrated in the morning session as John Campell successfully overturned a caught-behind dismissal and Jos Buttler dropped the same batsman at slip, Broad was finally rewarded.
The seamer nearly induced Shai Hope's edge from the first ball with a cutter but found it next up.
Then, after getting a delivery to rear up off a length, take Roston Chase's edge and fly through the slips, he banished the batsman a ball later with a delivery that shot through low.
Another crackerjack lifting delivery accounted for Shane Dowrich later on but it was that two-wicket over that showed once again that the decision to leave Broad out in Barbados looks increasingly folly.
Stats of the Day
Broad is up to seventh on the list of all-time Test wicket-takers - his three scalps on Friday taking him past Kapil Dev's 434. Windies great Courtney Walsh, on 519, is the England man's next target.
Talking Point
The pitch.
Sure, it's fun to watch batsmen seeing the ball shooting off a length one minute (Dowrich) and then having to deal with balls keeping low (Chase) but we're only on day two. Is this surface fit for Test cricket?
Paul Collingwood says no: "It really is poor. It makes for compelling viewing but is it great for Test cricket? No it's not!
"If you are playing in that match it is bordering on dangerous at times. There were balls going up to the top glove on day one - serious, serious bounce. To me it isn't suitable.
"These kinds of pitches on days four and five, sure, but not on days one and two. You wouldn't want this every single game."
Bravo wore one on the arm from Broad while batting on this fruity strip but battled to 33 from 165 deliveries by stumps to show that you don't have to go the Jonny Bairstow "kitchen sink" route.
What they said
STUART BROAD: "We've given it absolutely everything. Everyone can hold their head up really high in the changing room; we tried everything. All the bowlers ran in with heart and spirit, the fielders dived around all day."
KRAIGG BRATHWAITE: "I think 85 runs is a good lead; the pitch is difficult, especially once the bowlers put it in a full area. It is offering a lot for the pacers. Bravo was very impressive and I back him to carry on. I don't think the pitch will get any worse - I think it will stay the same."
PAUL COLLINGWOOD: "England will sit in the dressing room saying 'we've had bad luck all day'. There have been a number of chances that have gone close and a couple of dropped catches - but they'll be saying 'look, we're in this. There were some high-class spells there - who'd have thought Broad would only get three wickets? He deserved a five-for."
