Forced to follow-on after conceding a 468-run lead on Day 3, the West Indies batsmen only managed to score 196 runs in their second innings. The visitors are within touching distance of getting bowled out for the second time in the day after being bundled out for 181 in the first innings before lunch.
Opener Kieran Powell was the only West Indian batsman to make a significant contribution in the second essay, an entertaining 83 off 93 balls with eight boundaries and four sixes.
