West Indies stumbled against England on the rain affected opening day of their second test match at the national stadium here on Tuesday.
The host was reeling on 36 for two at lunch after losing their openers cheaply in a morning session, shortened by heavy and light mid morning showers.
Devon Smith and Kraigg Brathwaite succumbed to England’s pacers in a competitive morning session under overcast conditions.
Brathwaite fell early in the third over for one, beaten by an in swinger from James Anderson which darted into his pad and deflected on to the leg stump.
Smith, who became the first Grenadian to play test cricket on home soil, batted cautiously at first but then ran into problems with Chris Jordan.
Smith hit two fours and got to 15 when he was dropped by Garry Balance down the leg side.
However four balls later his luck ran out as he followed a ball wide outside his off stump which seems to have gotten an edge to the wicketkeeper.
Smith stood his ground for a while but declined a review although replays suggested he had not hit the ball.
Darren Bravo is 19 not out while Marlon Samuels is yet to get of
