England pile up
huge runs on Day 2 |
May 17, 2007 (Link to
Scorecard)
England have been powered by as
many as four centuries in their first innings
which is still unfinished at a massive 553 for
5. Wicket Keeper Matt Prior smashed a century on
Test Debut. Paul Collingwood and Ian Bell also
joined Alastair Cook and Prior in the century
club.
Resuming at 200 for 3 on the
second day, England lost the early wicket of
Alastair Cook, adding just three more runs to
his overnight score of 102. Paul Collingwood and
Ian Bell then put on 144 runs for the fifth
wicket. Collingwood departed in the 107th over
having made 111 from 209 balls with 14 fours.
The last session belonged to Ian
Bell and Matt Prior, the debutant. Batting on 5,
Matt Prior smacked 121 runs all on his own in
the last session! Ian Bell was a spectator
adding up 50 runs in the final session that saw
England plunder 181 runs in 32 overs against a
tired West Indian attack. These two are still
unfinished with Bell not out on 109 from 190
balls with 11 fours and Prior on 126 from 128
balls with 19 fours.
