IT WAS LIKE adding insult to injury.

West Indies dramatically collapsed to defeat against England in the second cricket Test at the National Stadium in Grenada yesterday and the loss was made even more painful after an injury to fast bowling all-rounder Jason Holder.

As England chased a modest target of 143 after West Indies were swept aside in the morning session, Holder sprained his ankle while attempting to bowl his tenth ball.

He fell in excruciating pain but it was later revealed he was recovering well and would be available for the last Test starting on Friday at Kensington Oval.
