NORTH SOUND, Antigua – An attritional career-best hundred from Nkrumah Bonner frustrated England today, earned West Indies a precious 62-run lead and set up a riveting penultimate day of the opening Test.The 33-year-old right-hander stroked 123 as the home side battled the entirety of Thursday’s third day at the Vivian Richards Cricket Stadium to reach 373 for nine at the close, in reply to England’s 311.Bonner received magnificent support from the lower order, adding 73 for the sixth wicket with wicketkeeper Joshua Da Silva (32), 44 for the eighth wicket with Kemar Roach (15) before putting on a further 46 for the ninth with Veerasammy Permaul (26 not out).All told, West Indies gathered a mere 171 runs from 90 overs but despite the slow pace of scoring, wore England down over the three sessions to leave the tourists deflated at the end.
