Bravo double sets up intriguing last day

Fri, Dec 6, '13

DUNEDIN, New Zealand – A maiden Test double-hundred from Darren Bravo led consistent batting down the order and ensured West Indies made New Zealand bat a second time in the first Test on Friday here.

Bravo was undefeated on a career-best 210 and formed significant, successive partnerships with fellow left-hander Narsingh Deonarine, compatriot Denesh Ramdin and his captain Darren Sammy, as the Windies batted all day and reached 443 for six in their second innings at the close on the fourth day at University Oval for a lead of 47.
