They might have been mirror-image dismissals: either edge of the bat, either end of the wicket. Jason Holder attempted leave when a shot should have been played, and Roston Chase attempted shot when the ball was better off being left. But the effect of their wickets, in the first nine balls of the day, was the same; it wrenched all the momentum the home side had built up over a painstaking 132-run partnership on Sunday evening, putting them back to the place they are so dreadfully familiar with: square one.
A breezy partnership between Alzarri Joseph and Devendra Bishoo ensured the West Indies made it past 300 but the optimism with which they had begun the day had long since evaporated. Abbas – the most successful bowler today – got rid of Bishoo soon after. Yasir mopped up Joseph next over, and West Indies found themselves shot out for 312, having added just 26 runs to their overnight score.
