Alick Athanaze and Kavem Hodge are currently at the crease, establishing a solid foundation for their team.

Gus Atkinson’s stunning delivery

During the day’s play, Gus Atkinson bowled a remarkable delivery to dismiss West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite. The incident occurred on the third ball of the 22nd over of the West Indies innings, bowled by Atkinson. The right-arm fast bowler delivered a sharp bouncer that angled towards Brathwaite’s body, catching him off guard. Brathwaite attempted to fend off the delivery but was rushed by the pace. The ball hit the splice of the bat and lobbed towards short leg, where Ollie Pope moved to his right and took a simple catch.
