They did not start well an they lost one of their openers early. But then there was a big partnership between Devon Smith and Darren Bravo which looked dangerous. But the partnership was broken as Bravo got out and in came Samuels. Both the players need to play well and sensible on the last day to win the match or to draw it. They are now 98-2 and still need 340 runs to win with 90 overs and 8 wickets in hand. It is a very tough task for them to chase it down.
