Captain Kraigg Brathwaite was last out in the West Indies' first innings of 354 before the visitors rallied behind Lahiru Thirimanne's third consecutive half-century to reach 136 for three at stumps on the second day of the second and final Test in Antigua on Tuesday.
After scores of 70 and 76 in the drawn first Test, Thirimanne's run of good scores -- going back to the series in South Africa last December -- continued with another composed innings of 55.
