Kemar Roach on Windies performance
When asked about the Windies performances, Roach said that there was more than enough time. He expressed that they had to stick and score more runs. They have not scored well so far, they need to get the score.
“There is more than enough time. Two days left in the Test match. Just bat. Nothing more to be said about that. The guys haven’t had a good score in this Test series so far, so it’s about guys just applying themselves and going out there and being positive and put some runs on the board,” He said.

Windies scored 45 runs with the two-wicket loss on day 3. They have two days to get to the target and get back in the game.
