England sit 225 runs adrift of West Indies on day two of the second Test with the West Indies.

England have finished day two of the second Test with the West Indies on 74-0, 225 runs short of their target.

Marlon Samuels picked up an impressive 103 as the West Indies posted a first-innings total of 299 just before tea in Grenada today.

England's opening partnership of Alastair Cook and Jonathan Trott remain in play after the duo successfully thwarted the Indies' bowlers.

Captain Cook finished the session on 37, while Trott ended on 32 as the pair chase half-centuries on day three.

The first Test ended in a draw last week.
