Xavier Bartlett to Alick Athanaze, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Two for Xavier Bartlett and the openers for the Windies are back in the hut. The outswinger for the leftie, this starts around off and moves away. Alick Athanaze goes after it but his feet are rooted to the crease. He probably was worried about the one coming back in and hence, no feet movement. This goes off the outside edge and the keeper takes it. Windies in trouble early on.
