The Barbados all-rounder clouted two massive sixes off one James Pattinson over on his way to a dynamic 69 after lunch.
Brathwaite smashed Pattinson over cover for his first powerful blow before flicking another off his pads for six over backward square leg.

When tea was taken with rain continuing to hammer down, the West Indies were 248 for seven with Denesh Ramdin on 30 and Kemar Roach yet to score.
The forecast was for further rain later Monday and on Tuesday.
