Captain Jason Holder and wicketkeeper Shane Dowrich struck unbeaten half-centuries as West Indies stretched their lead beyond 400 runs, to strengthen their grip on the opening Test against England here Friday.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Resuming the pivotal day three on 127 for six \u2013 already 339 runs ahead \u2013 West Indies kept England without success in first session to reach 237 for six at lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holder, started the day on seven, was not out on 80 and in sight of his third Test hundred while Dowrich, on 27 overnight, reached the break unbeaten on 61.<\/p>
