West Indies batting coach Toby Radford has highlighted his side’s batting patience as a major factor in the series win over England.

West Indies lead the three-match series 2-0 after crushing victories in the first two Tests.

The home batting line-up coped with conditions and Welshman Radford has been one of the architects of that success.

“A lot of it has been mindset,” said Radford.

“We spoke as a collective before the series about what we needed to do to win and a lot of it was about application and concentration.

“You need to bat for about five or six hours and the guys were willing to buy into the concept.

“A lot of is being prepared to leave good balls and allow the English bowlers to come to us and pick them off and keep the scoreboard ticking.”

West Indies captain Jason Holder scored a double hundred in the first Test, while the hosts survived for 131 overs to make 306 in the first innings in the second Test.
