Shivnarine Chanderpaul prevented another complete West Indies collapse on the first day of the first cricket Test on Thursday as England’s Stuart Broad enjoyed yet more success at Lord’s.
Chanderpaul’s 87 not out, his latest rescue mission for his beleaguered side, was the cornerstone of a total of 9-243 in an innings where no other batsman made more than opener Adrian Barath’s 42.
Paceman Broad took six wickets for 72 in 24.4 overs – his first five-wicket Test innings haul at Lord’s.
Chanderpaul arrived at the crease with the score 3-86 and managed to get an LBW decision reversed when on 15.
