00:06With Tej Narain Chandapal out injured, the right-handed Brandon King opened with John Campbell.
00:11Nice little confident booster for Brandon King. First boundary of the test match.
00:16The two put on a decent partnership with 66 runs for the first wicket.

01:17Things were really rough for the Caribbean team, with this mix-up seeing Anderson-Philip being run out for 5 or 50 balls.
01:26Jacob Duffy took the last one, as Westonese, from 153 for 3 at one stage, were all out for 205.
