West Indies crush Sri Lanka in Antigua as Roach bags 300th Test wicket

West Indies romped to an innings victory over Sri Lanka in the first Test at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua, with Kemar Roach reaching a landmark 300th Test wicket and a pace pack that included Jayden Seales, Shamar Joseph and Alzarri Joseph running through the visitors. The batting set it up: a record sixth-wicket stand of 401 between skipper Roston Chase and Amir Jangoo, the latter raising a maiden double century. For a regional side that has lived on bad news for years, it is the rare result that lets the whole Caribbean diaspora paint its face again and believe.
