Holder, Ramdin stave off England

Two West Indian captains, Denesh Ramdin and Jason Holder, kept their team fighting on the final day in Antigua as they went to tea on 268 for 6. Although plenty of time remained for England to secure victory there were signs of frustration growing, not least from James Anderson who earlier equalled Ian Botham as England's leading Test wicket-taker.

Anderson's 383rd Test scalp had come shortly before midday when Marlon Samuels edged to gully and when Chris Jordan removed Jermaine Blackwood moments ahead of the new ball, West Indies were 189 for 6 and 51 overs remained in the Test. By tea, that figure was down to 31 - or two hours of play - although England will remember from the first innings how swiftly West Indies' lower can be dispatched.

Broad came closest to breaking the seventh-wicket stand when Holder pulled a short delivery which landed short of Jonathan Trott but the pitch was refusing to yield right until the  end.
