Cricket News : Jason Holder rocks England with a career-best 6-wicket haul

West Indies skipper Jason Holder returned Test-best figures of 6-42 as England slumped to 204 all out on the second day of the series opener in Southampton. When bad light forced an early close, West Indies had lost just the one wicket to be 57-1, a deficit of 147 runs. Kraigg Brathwaite was 20 not out and Shai Hope three not out. The world's top-ranked all-rounder Holder surpassed his previous Test-best of 6-59 against Bangladesh at Kingston two years ago, making full use of overcast conditions at the Ageas Bowl. Fast bowler Shannon Gabriel, who did the early damage, took all the other wickets in the innings for impressive figures of 4-62. Holder's haul, the sixth time in his past 10 Tests he has taken five or more wickets in an innings, included the prize scalp of opposing captain Ben Stokes, who top-scored with 43 after winning the toss. Dom Bess' cameo took England past the 200-run mark, West Indies openers John Campbell and Kraigg Brathwaite put up an opening stand of 43 runs. West Indies ended the second day of the first Test against England on 57/1 and trail the hosts by 147 runs at the Ageas Bowl.
