West Indies will begin Day Three of the third Test against England at Barbados in command as England are 39 for five at the end of Day Two, securing a lead of 107. West Indies were earlier bowled out for 189, after an excellent knock of 85 from Jermaine Blackwood. James Anderson ripped through the West Indies batting line-up with figures of six for 42. ENG finish on a shaky 39/5 at the end of Day 2 in 3rd Test vs WI at Barbados
Gary Ballance and Ben Stokes are currently batting for England and they will want to take their side to a reasonably good position and their bowlers will want something to bowl at. West Indies on the other hand will just be happy to get rid of the rest of the England batsmen as soon as possible. Jermome Taylor was looking in good touch and will look to lead the West Indies attack when the play resumes. LIVE SCORECARD: WI VS ENG
Alastair Cook scored a magnificent ton in the first innings, but he did not get enough support from the other batsmen that followed. The to ordr has failed once again, but the lower order are quite capable of taking England to a respectable position. Jermaine Blackwood: West Indies focused on wrapping up England early
