West Indies, who picked up only one wicket on the first day, which they needed to win to square the series, were dealt a big blow when their senior bowler pulled up clutching his hamstring in the 89th over and walked off the field after completing it. Roach did not take part in any of the morning warm-ups to start proceedings on Friday and it is unclear when he will be able to rejoin the side. There was confirmation, however on the broadcast, that he was unavailable for the second day’s play. In addition to Roach, Shai Hope had to stay back in the hotel on account of being unwell.
