separated, 50 minutes into the day\u2019s play when Joseph edged fast bowler James Anderson (5-46) to Jos Buttler at third slip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faced with just under an hour to navigate before lunch, England lost left-hander Keaton Jennings for 17, nine minutes before the interval, when he sliced seamer Jason Holder to Shai Hope at gully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The visitors reached the break at 30 for one but there was still no sign of the carnage to come, even when opener Rory Burns played on to the fourth ball after lunch from Roach without adding to his two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Roach then scythed through the middle order in a period of sheer horror for the visitors, as they lost five wickets for five runs in the space of 45 balls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his next over, Roach got Jonny Bairstow (12) to play on in the third over after lunch with the score on 44 and captain Joe Root (4) followed without addition to the total, hit in front by Holder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the score on 48, Roach removed Stokes and Moeen Ali both without scoring, off successive deliveries. Stokes was forced back and trapped lbw while Moeen top-edged a pull next ball and was brilliantly taken on the long leg ropes by Joseph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Roach then got his fifth when he had Jos Buttler (4) in his next over caught at the wicket, and Joseph claimed two of the last three wickets to fall, while speedster Shannon Gabriel got the other in a second spell, as England folded spectacularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the second time in the match, debutant John Campbell and and Kraigg Brathwaite set West Indies on their way with a half-century opening stand, which again kept England without any early success after tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The left-handed Campbell top-scored with 33 off 64 balls with one four and a six while Brathwaite added 24 before playing back and falling lbw to Moeen\u2019s (3-41) off-spin, nearing the first hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Campbell wasted a good start when he toe-ended a slap at a long hop from Stokes (2-31) and was caught at short cover by Jennings in the first over after the drinks break at 60 for two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And three wickets then fell with the score on 61 as Darren Bravo (1) and Roston Chase (0) perished to catches at slip by Stokes off Moeen, before Hope was taken at short leg off Stokes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As he did in the first innings, Hetmyer came to the Windies rescue, hitting a couple of fours and audacious sixes as he repaired the damage with Dowrich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disappointingly, however, he fell in the day\u2019s final over, tapping a gentle drive to Buttler at point off left-armer Sam Curran.<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-1084170901\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seamer Kemar Roach\u2019s ninth career five-wicket haul sent a shell-shocked England reeling for a record low at Kensington Oval, as 18 wickets tumbled on a dramatic second day of the opening Test here Thursday.
