Dismal show by Windies

Taunton, England-Leg-spinner Mahendra Nagamootoo scored his maiden first-class century yesterday but there was little else to cheer West Indies in their four-day match against Somerset. Set a victory target of 439, they ended the penultimate day on five for one.

Nagamootoo, unbeaten on 97 overnight, was dismissed for 100, his 139- ball innings including 13 fours and three sixes.

Wicketkeeper Wayne Phillip weighed in with an unbeaten 67, his first half-century in first-class cricket, but the West Indies total of 290 left them 198 runs behind on first innings.
