Gayle falls cheaply as West Indies struggles

Jermaine Lannaman, Gleaner Writer

The West Indies were 63-3 at lunch chasing New Zealand's first innings score of 260 on the second day of the second and final Test at Sabina Park.

First Test centurions, openers Chris Gayle and Kieran Powell along with Assad Fudadin are the batsmen to have been dismissed.

Gayle made an uncharacteristic eight off 55 balls.

Powell was dismissed for his overnight eight, while Fudadin fell for five after facing 10 balls.

Marlon Samuels, 30, and Shivnarine Chanderpaul, eight, were not not at lunch.

Left-arm fast bowler Trent Bolt has so far taken two for 25 and fellow left-arm seamer, Neil Wagner, one for nine.

The West Indies need to at least draw the match to take the series after winning the first Test in Antigua.
