Difficult task facing England U19s against West Indies

England's Under-19 cricketers are facing the problem of how to contain a powerful West Indies outfit which is already 289 runs ahead with five wickets still standing.

With one day remaining in the First Test at Leicester, West Indies are 254-5.

England took their overnight score from 207-7 to 243 all out thanks largely to a last-wicket stand of 32 between James Anderson and Andrew McGarry. Left-arm seamer Kenroy Peters took his haul to six wickets.

Then Grenadian left-hander Devon Smith stroked 90 off 162 balls, with 13 fours and a six over long on, to record his fifth score of 50 or more against England on this tour.

Before he was caught at mid on, Smith shared a third-wicket stand of 101 in 100 minutes with Tonito Willett from the idland of Nevis.

Willett scored 75, with 14 fours off 113 balls, before being caught behind off Lancashire seamer Anderson, who took three for 45 in his 17 overs.
