CHELMSFORD, England – Fast bowler Kemar Roach erased any doubt about his form and fitness with a brilliant spell which brightened an otherwise dour second day of the West Indies three-day tour game against Essex, yesterday.
Only two hours play were possible at Essex County Ground as heavy rain, which started during the lunch interval and continued into the afternoon, forced officials to abandon play at 3:15 p.m.
However, Roach made the most of the time available, putting on an excellent exhibition of swing bowling, to end with three for 17 from six overs as Essex stumbled to the interval on 47 for four.
West Indies had earlier declared their first innings on 338 for eight after resuming the day on 309 for eight. (CMC)
