Nkrumah Bonner's (123) considerable reserves of patience and determination paid off with an invaluable second Test century before West Indies were bowled out for 375 - a lead of 64 runs - on Day Four of the first Test against England at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium here on Friday.

In reply, England reached 72-1 in their second essay at lunch. "We worked really hard on our batting during the camp ahead of this series, so I wasn't surprised to see the resistance from the lower-order batters, which was very important in putting us in the position we are in," Bonner said at stumps on Thursday.
