Brathwaite hits second Test hundred as Windies flourish

Sat, Sep 6, '14

KINGSTOWN, St Vincent (CMC) — Kraigg Brathwaite's penchant for heavy run-scoring continued here yesterday as he stroked his second Test century to headline West Indies' domination of the opening day of the first Test against Bangladesh.

The 21-year-old right-hander was unbeaten on 123 at the close at Arnos Vale, an innings that helped propel the hosts to 264 for three, after they were sent in on a decent batting strip.

Along the way, the Barbadian added 116 for the first wicket with talismanic left-hander Chris Gayle who struck 64, before posting another 128 for the third wicket with the stylish Darren Bravo who stroked 62.
