article_snippet.sent: The decision to linger in the middle after two rain delays in order to allow Chris Jordan and James Tredwell to face some admittedly low-quality bowling, suggested those two would claim the disputed places in their likely team.
article_snippet.sent: Barring a raging turner in Antigua next week there will be only one spinning place and James Tredwell, already a likelier pick than Yorkshire's Adil Rashid, was sent in ahead of Yorkshire's Adil Rashid counterpart for a late hit.
article_snippet.sent: Yorkshire's Adil Rashid dismissal gave Rashid a chance of Rashid own but James Tredwell was given priority and can now start preparing for a second Test cap.
article_snippet.sent: Chris Jordan, meanwhile, was afforded a decent stint at the crease in the final session, when England pressed for an extra half-hour's play following rain delays.
article_snippet.sent: That suggests Chris Jordan has done enough to remain ahead of Mark Wood and Liam Plunkett, who both bowled for the hosts without doing anything compelling to push both case.
article_snippet.sent: Those decisions aside the second in a pair of two-day fixtures has been little more than a glorified training drill, with Plunkett, Mark Wood and Jonny Bairstow dropped in to strengthen the flimsy local side, while Gary Ballance, Trott and Root featured for both teams at various points.
