England innings

Batting R B 4s 6s SR
Rory Burnslbw b Shannon Gabriel 30 85 4 0 35.29
25.4
S Gabriel to Burns, OUT! LBW! Brilliant decision to review from West Indies. Holder was not convinced for the review but Gabriel convinces him and it has worked wonders. Very full delivery on middle, and leg, Burns moves towards the off side to flick but misses. He gets rapped on the pads and there is a huge appeal made for LBW. The umpire shakes his head. Holder goes for the review after Gabriel convinces him to do so and the Ultra Edge shows that there is no bat. The Ball Tracker rolls in and it shows all three reds. Burns has to go and yet another case of an England batsman getting a start and then throwing it away. West Indies have been brilliant in the morning.
Dom Sibleyb Shannon Gabriel 0 4 0 0 0
1.4
S Gabriel to Dom Sibley, OUT! TIMBER! What a delivery from Shannon Gabriel! Just brilliant from the pacer! Sibley had no clue! Gabriel bowls this on a length outside off, Sibley looks to leave but the ball swings in sharply and goes on to hit the top of off stump. This is why West Indies' pacers are a force to reckon with. Burns was lucky to survive his rustiness but lady luck does not smile brightly on Sibley as his error in judgement has ended his innings. First international wicket after more than 110 days. A moment Gabriel and many will remember but Sibley would like to forget. He walks back for a duck. Terrific start for West Indies.
Joe Denlyb Shannon Gabriel 18 58 4 0 31.03
23.2
Gabriel to Joe Denly, OUT! TIMBER! Perfect delivery from Shannon Gabriel! He was the best bowler for the Windies on Day 1 and has started off in the same manner today as well. Just terrific stuff. Denly, as has been the case throughout his career so far. Gets off to a start and then fails to make it count. Excellent delivery from Gabriel. It is pacy and pitches outside off, this one nips back in sharply. Denly looks to defend but the ball goes right between the gate of the bat and pad to disturb the stumps. Fast bowler's delight and second wicket for Gabriel. He has looked excellent so far in this Test.
Zak Crawleylbw b Jason Holder 10 26 2 0 38.46
33.1
J Holder to Crawley, OUT! LBW! That looked so, so out to the naked eye! Another review which goes in the favour of West Indies. Jason Holder is having a field day with his reviews. Brilliant stuff from the Windies. Zak Crawley does not make use of the opportunity given to him in the absence of Joe Root. Another batsman succumbs to the movement of the ball with his own feet not moving. Full delivery around off, which swings in sharply. Crawley looks to flick but misses and gets rapped on the pads. Holder and the rest appeal but the umpire shakes his head. Kettleborough gets across sideways to see where the ball has ended up, does an 'ooo' with his mouth but shakes his head. Holder is confident and goes for the review. Before the Ultra Edge rolls in, initially there is some confusion. Has the ball deflected off the bat? Nope. No deviation or spike on the Ultra Edge. The Ball Tracker shows all reds and Zak has to go. England are in deep trouble in their first innings and need their captain Ben Stokes to step up. But the question is - how will he play now? Take your side till Lunch without any more wickets or counter-attack?
Ben Stokes (C)c Shane Dowrich b Jason Holder 43 97 7 0 44.33
53.3
J Holder to Stokes, OUT! Caught behind! The West Indies skipper gets the better of the English skipper. A good innings from Stokes comes to an end and the budding partnership has been broken. Roach and Brooks will be relieved as their dropped catches has not cost West Indies a lot. Excellent delivery from Holder. He comes around the wicket and bowls it full around off, Stokes looks to work it to the leg side but the ball comes in and straightens enough to kiss the outside edge and go straight into the mitts of Shane Dowrich behind the stumps. He makes no mistake and the West Indies players are ecstatic. They are in command of this game and are into the bowlers now.
Ollie Popec Shane Dowrich b Jason Holder 12 13 2 0 92.31
37.4
J Holder to Pope, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Aussie fans, Aussie fans, where art thou? Ahhh... they must be booing the English from home. 87 is considered as an unlucky number for Australia but in the recent past, it has been England who have been facing more bad luck at that number in cricket. 5 down and still a quarter of an hour to go to Lunch. England are in tatters here. If Holder was looking rusty on Day 1, he has been the complete opposite bowler today! This bloke was looking so good - Ollie Pope. But that is what happens when you get some confidence. You don't quite want to let balls go, which you should, more often than not in a Test inning. That too, when you have faced just a dozen balls. Pope sees this length delivery around off and thinks, 'Well, let me just nurdle it around the corner for one.' What happens instead is the ball moves away, takes the outside edge as Pope looks to control the damage after realising the late movement but is too late. Outside edge to Dowrich and West Indies get another one. Shake of the head from Pope but mate, this is one ball which you could have left alone.
Jos Buttler (W)c Shane Dowrich b Jason Holder 35 47 6 0 74.47
55.4
J Holder to Buttler, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Buttler now goes! West Indies are all over England or should I say, Holder is all over them? But to be honest, this wicket's credit has to go to Shane Dowrich. Brilliant catch from the keeper! Good length ball outside off, Buttler looks to defend but it takes the outside edge and goes towards the right of Dowrich who dives to that side and takes a one-handed catch. 4th Wicket for Holder. Can he take a 5-fer?
Dom Bessnot out 31 44 4 0 70.45
Jofra Archerlbw b Jason Holder 0 6 0 0 0
57.4
J Holder to Archer, OUT! LBW! Another review taken by Holder, another decision has been overturned! Boy, Holder has been terrific today. Everything he has touched has turned to gold, be it with the ball in hand or his reviews, he's been spot on. Slightly fuller ball on off, angling in sharply, Archer looks to flick but gets rapped on the pads. Holder appeals but is turned down. He thinks for a review and after consulting his teammates, Jason opts for the review. The Ultra Edge shows that there is no bat on it. What about Ball Tracker? It shows all reds and Holder has got his 5th wicket. England are just 2 wickets away from being bowled out.
Mark Woodc Shai Hope b Jason Holder 5 7 0 0 71.43
61.1
J Holder to Wood, OUT! CAUGHT! 6th wicket for Jason Holder! He keeps on taking wickets and England look set to get bowled out before 200. This has been a special performance from Holder. He bowls this on a length outside off, Wood goes for the drive but it takes an outside edge and goes to Shai Hope at gully. Can England reach 200?
James Andersonb Shannon Gabriel 10 20 1 0 50
67.3
Gabriel to J Anderson, OUT! TIMBER! Gabriel gets the last wicket and he ends up with 4. Him and Holder have shared all 10 wickets and it has been an excellent bowling performance from the West Indian bowlers. Along with his skipper, Shannon was the best bowler from the side. He bowls this length ball on off, Anderson misreads it and looks to defend. The ball sneaks past the bat and hits the off stump. But this partnership helped England reach over 200. ENGLAND HAVE BEEN BOWLED OUT FOR 204.

West Indies innings

Batting R B 4s 6s SR
Kraigg Brathwaitelbw b Ben Stokes 65 125 6 0 52
41.6
Ben Stokes to Brathwaite, OUT! LBW! Stokes has the last laugh and the expensive over has ended on a fruitful note. End of a very good innings from Kraigg Brathwaite but he will be disappointed not to convert this into a century. Stokes dishes out a good length delivery on off which nips back in. Brathwaite looks to flick but misses and gets hit on the pads. England appeal and after a thought, the on-field umpire raises his finger. Brathwaite has a chat with Brooks and at the eleventh hour signals the 'T'. Replay rolls in and Stokes, unlike Archer, has not overstepped his line. The Ultra Edge then rolls in and it shows that there is no bat involved. The Ball Tracker comes up and shows that it is umpire's call on impact as well on hitting the stumps. Game of margins this and West Indies won't lose their review but they will lose their man.
John Campbelllbw b James Anderson 28 36 3 0 77.78
12.6
Anderson to Campbell, OUT! LBW! Anderson is third time lucky! He could have had Campbell's wicket twice but both times, it were overturned. He has been troubling Campbell the whole innings so far and he has finally been rewarded. Good length ball on middle, Campbell looks to defend but gets rapped on the pads. England appeal and once again the on-field umpire raises the finger. Campbell goes for the review yet again but this time he is not so lucky as the Ultra Edge shows that there is no bat on it. The Ball Tracker then rolls in and it shows all reds. Campbell has to go now and the streak of West Indies' successful reviews is over.
Shai Hopec Ben Stokes b Dom Bess 16 64 1 0 25
34.3
Dom Bess to Hope, OUT! Caught! Sharp catch by captain Ben Stokes. Good bowling by Bess. He gives this one air and bowls it outside off, tempting Hope to drive. Hope obliges and expects the ball to spin in but this one keeps straight and takes a thick outside edge which goes to the right of first slip. Stokes has a great pair of hands and makes a sharp catch look rather easy. England needed a wicket and they have got it. West Indies still in command though. England need to find a way to get wickets and build on this momentum.
Shamarh Brooksc Jos Buttler b James Anderson 39 71 6 0 54.93
55.2
J Anderson to Brooks, OUT! CAUGHT! There is a clear spike on Ultra Edge and Brooks has to depart after looking so good. What a waste of a review though! Anderson has been exceptional since the Lunch break and has been rewarded with a wicket. Good length ball outside off, Brooks looks to defend without moving his feet and ends up edging it behind. Buttler takes it comfortably and all of England players appeal. The umpire raises his dreaded finger after giving it a thought. Surprisingly, Brooks consults his partner who convinces him to go for a review. Anderson's front foot is fine and Ultra Edge shows that there is a spike on it as the ball passes the bat. Brooks has to go and he takes the review with him as well. England needed this wicket as West Indies are inching closer to wiping off the deficit.
Roston Chaselbw b James Anderson 47 142 6 0 33.1
88.6
Anderson to Chase, OUT! LBW! Another on-field call that has been overturned. Chase's patient and very good innings comes to an end. England desperately needed a wicket and they have got it. Once again it is Anderson who has done the damage. He has been the best bowler for England and Stokes so far. Anderson bowls a good length delivery on off, it is bowled at a good pace and nips back in. Chase looks to defend but misses and gets hit around the knee roll of his front pad. The England players put in an appeal but the umpire is unmoved. Anderson, Stokes and Buttler all have a quick chat after which Stokes signals the 'T'. Anderson's foot is fine so we move onto Ultra Edge and there is no spike there. Is height going to be an issue? No, it's not as Ball Tracker comes in and shows all reds as the ball is going on to hit the middle and leg pole. Chase's vigilant knock comes to an end and England get the wicket they were craving for. End of an excellent partnership as well which has taken West Indies in the driver's seat. They lead by 63 runs.
Jermaine Blackwoodc James Anderson b Dom Bess 12 22 2 0 54.55
60.6
Dom Bess to Blackwood, OUT! CAUGHT! This is just reckless batting from Blackwood! West Indies are just trailing by 18 runs and he needed to bat sensibly but what does Blackwood do? Goes for a big shot and perishes. Bess tosses this one up outside off, Blackwood dances down the track but does not get to the pitch of the ball as he would have liked. He still goes for the lofted shot but does not get the required elevation and the ball goes straight to James Anderson at mid off who takes it with no fuss. The English players are happy and why wouldn't they be!
Shane Dowrich (W)c Jos Buttler b Ben Stokes 61 115 8 0 53.04
100.2
Ben Stokes to Dowrich, OUT! CAUGHT! End of a lovely innings from Dowrich! He is one of the reasons for West Indies being in a strong position. Good length ball down the leg side, Dowrich looks to flick but gets a faint edge back to the keeper who makes no mistake. Shane is walking back and is not even waiting for the umpire's decison. Stokes one wicket away from a 5-fer. West Indies lead by 109 runs with one wicket in hand.
Jason Holder (C)c Jofra Archer b Ben Stokes 5 14 0 0 35.71
94.1
Ben Stokes to J Holder, OUT! CAUGHT! Ben Stokes has his revenge! It was Holder who got Stokes out on Day 2 and Stokes has returned the favour! This is just what England wanted, getting the opposite captain for a cheap score. England though still need to keep taking wickets and finish the tail as fast as possible. Stokes dishes a short ball around middle, Holder goes for the pull but does not time it well. It goes way up in the air and towards fine leg. Archer runs after it from fine leg and dives forward to take a good catch. West Indies lose their 7th wicket and they lead by 77 runs. Can England bowl them out before they reach a lead of 100?
Alzarri Josephb Ben Stokes 18 12 3 0 150
98.4
Ben Stokes to Joseph, OUT! Bowled! Stokes gets another wicket after it was turning out to be an expensive over. It is Test victim number 150 for Ben Stokes and the skipper for this game. He looks a bit annoyed and angry maybe because he has leaked runs in this over. Joseph's luck runs out. It is a very good delivery. Length ball pitching around off, Alzarri looks to defend but the ball beats his defense and goes right between the bat and pad to hit the top of off. 2 wickets in hand and West Indies lead by 102.

101.6
Wood to S Gabriel, OUT! Bowled! Pacy, full and straight and that is just too good for the tourists' number 11. West Indies all out for 318. Wood steams in and bowls a full ball on middle and off, it shapes in a bit. Gabriel looks to free his arm and go for a big one but he misses, Wood doesn't. West Indies bowled out for 318 with a lead of 114.

Batting R B 4s 6s SR
Rory Burnsc John Campbell b Roston Chase 42 104 5 0 40.38
36.1
R Chase to Burns, OUT! CAUGHT! Soft, soft dismissal! After working hard for so long, Burns has given it away and has given the visitors an opening. He looked all set to score a big one but it was not to be. Chase might feel that he is lucky as this was a rank long-hop and should have been put away. Short ball outside off, Burns rocks back and looks to cut but it bounces a little more than expected. It takes the top half of the bat and goes straight to John Campbell at point who makes no mistake. West Indies have managed to strike just before Lunch and will be slightly happier going into the break. England trail by 42 runs.
Dom Sibleyc Shane Dowrich b Shannon Gabriel 50 164 4 0 30.49
51.3
S Gabriel to Sibley, OUT! CAUGHT! Sibley does not make use of the opportunity he got earlier in the over. He has been strangled down the leg side before as well in his first-class and international career and West Indies have exploited it this time. A hundred was on the offing here and Sibley has thrown it away. He will be very disappointed with this but has to make the long walk back to the pavilion. Gabriel dishes out a good length ball down the leg side, Sibley cannot resist as he tries to flick this to fine leg but he can only get a faint edge to the keeper who dives to his left to take the catch. Gabriel takes a sigh of relief as that No Ball did not cost much and they have got rid of the set batsman. England trail by 1 run.
Joe Denlyc Jason Holder b Roston Chase 29 70 3 0 41.43
64.3
R Chase to Denly, OUT! Caught! Another soft dismissal but Chase isn't complaining. Denly's curse of getting out between 11-30 continues. He will be fuming with himself. This is not a delivery he would have envisioned himself getting out to. Nothing delivery from Chase. It is a straighter delivery on the pads, Denly flicks it but does so uppishly, just to the left of Holder at mid-wicket. Denly once again gets the start and throws it away. The West Indies skipper makes no mistake and accepts it graciously. England once again lose a wicket against the run of play. 3 down with the lead of 37.
Zak Crawleyc & b Alzarri Joseph 76 127 8 0 59.84
90.4
Joseph to Crawley, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Crawley's magnificent innings has come to an end. He will be disappointed as this has opened the doors for the visitors because of two successive wickets and has given them a chance to make a comeback in this game. Good length ball on middle, Crawley looks to flick but gets a leading edge back towards the bowler who makes no mistake. Zak walks back slowly to the pavilion. England lead by 139 runs.
Ben Stokes (C)c Shai Hope b Jason Holder 46 79 6 0 58.23
89.4
J Holder to Ben Stokes, OUT! CAUGHT! Holder gets Stokes again in this match. It has truly been the battle of the captains. Holder had him in the first innings while Stokes returned the favour when West Indies batted and now Holder does it once again. 2-1 in favour of Holder in this personal duel. Stokes dismissed in the 40s once more but he has taken England to a strong position. Holder bowls a good length delivery around middle, Stokes moves to the off side and then looks to defend but it takes the outside edge and goes towards Shai Hope who is standing a bit wide at third slip. Big wicket and West Indies have a hope of making it back in this game. 200 wickets for Holder in all formats. Will they be able to restrict the hosts' lead now?
Ollie Popeb Shannon Gabriel 12 30 1 0 40
101.6
S Gabriel to Pope, OUT! DRAGGED ON! This is just excellent bowling! Gabriel is proving that he is a force to be reckoned with. He was in the reserves but was added just a few days before the squad was announced and he is delivering the goods. Short of a length delivery around off, Pope hops to defend this one but gets an inside edge onto the stumps. What a session this has been for West Indies. Pope is disgusted with himself as he was the last recognized batsman in and England would have wanted him to continue on for the side. England lead by 165 runs. How many more runs can the hosts add?
Jos Buttler (W)b Alzarri Joseph 9 13 2 0 69.23
94.2
Joseph to Jos Buttler, OUT! TIMBER! Another one falls and West Indies feel that they are in this game! Three wickets in quick succession! Buttler was looking fidgety in his short stay at the crease and he has perished. Alzarri Joseph has been brilliant in this spell and shows the world what he can do! He dishes out a good length delivery on off, nipping in, Buttler goes for the drive but does not move his feet at all. The ball takes the inside edge and uproots the leg stump. Buttler's tough run in Tests continues. England lead by 151 runs.
Dom Bessb Shannon Gabriel 3 24 0 0 12.5
101.2
S Gabriel to Bess, OUT! TIMBER! Gabriel has found some rhythm in this spell and has been rewarded with the wicket of Bess. Bess was looking comfortable but he has to go. Brilliant bowling from Gabriel. Good length ball on off and straightens after pitching. Bess looks to defend but fails and the ball goes onto hit the top of off stump. Gabriel and West Indies are in the middle of a good spell here and will hope to bowl England out early. The hosts lead by 164 runs.
Jofra Archerc Shane Dowrich b Shannon Gabriel 23 35 4 0 65.71
111.2
S Gabriel to Archer, OUT! Caught behind! Gabriel can continue his celebration as he has his 5-fer. Excellent bowling display from him and the West Indies overall. A pacy bouncer on the leg side, Archer looks to hook it but ends up gloving it to the keeper. Dowrich takes a simple catch. The West Indies players appeal and the umpire raises his finger. Archer takes the review straightaway. Replay rolls in and Shannon is fine with his delivery stride. Time for the Ultra Edge and it shows a spike as it goes past the glove. Hopeful review from Archer but to no avail. England bowled out for 313. West Indies need 200 to win the game and take the lead in the series.
Mark Woodc Shane Dowrich b Shannon Gabriel 2 18 0 0 11.11
109.3
S Gabriel to Wood, OUT! Caught behind! The first wicket of the day has fallen and West Indies are just a wicket away from batting again. Wood won't be happy looking back at it. Another wicket for Gabriel. He had 4 in the first innings and now has 4 in the second. Gabriel comes in and hits the deck hard on top of middle and off, Wood goes on his back foot and looks to play it through point but ends up getting a thick outside edge which goes straight into the mitts of Dowrich. He takes a dolly and England have just one wicket in the kitty and they lead by 189.

J Archer to Brathwaite, OUT! DRAGGED ON! West Indies lost Campbell due to an injury and now have lost Brathwaite very early on in the innings. Archer has been brilliant this morning and he has been rewarded. England needed to take early wickets and they have started in the right direction. Archer dishes out a back of a length ball on off, Brathwaite looks to defend but it takes the inside edge and goes onto hit the stumps. Kraigg walks back disappointed. West Indies needed him to anchor this chase and hang on in the middle but that hasn't happened!

M Wood to Hope, OUT! TIMBER! Wood comes into the attack and he strikes immediately! This was a brilliant delivery and nothing that Shai Hope could do about it. West Indies are in deep tatters in this chase. Wood delivers a good length ball on off, nipping in sharply, Hope looks to defend but the ball sneaks in between his bat and pad, going onto hit the stumps. The England players are excited and rightly so. Both Wood and Archer were off colour in the first innings but they have been right on the money so far in the second. West Indies still need 173 runs.
Shamarh Brookslbw b Jofra Archer 0 5 0 0 0
7.3
Archer to Brooks, OUT! LBW! Plumb LBW from Archer and the Barbados-born England international has given his side the start they were looking for. Archer steams a full delivery pitching around off and it comes in as well. Brooks looks to play it towards mid on but the pace and movement is too good for him. Brooks misses and the ball hits him flush in front. Archer appeals and at the same time starts celebrating as he knows he has his man and the umpire raises his finger. Brooks does not even bother to take it upstairs. Good decision that as the Ball Tracker later on shows that the ball was going to hit the middle stump. This has been an awful start from the West Indies. They are clearly on the back foot here.
Roston Chasec Jos Buttler b Jofra Archer 37 88 1 0 42.05
35.4
J Archer to Chase, OUT! CAUGHT! That is a nasty delivery! England needed this wicket desperately as this partnership was taking the game away from them. What an excellent piece of bowling from Jofra Archer! He has been the best bowler so far in this innings. Jofra bends his back and bowls the effort ball and makes the ball shoot up off the surface. It is a well directed one as well. Chase looks to defend but the awkward height and the pace beats him and the ball kisses his thumb before lobbing off his shoulder to the keeper. Buttler jogs forward and takes a simple catch. Brilliant from Archer. This is why he is so highly rated. Nothing is happening off the surface but he has made it happen. West Indies still on top of this chase but can England make this opening count and make a comeback?
Jermaine Blackwoodc James Anderson b Ben Stokes 95 154 12 0 61.69
60.4
Ben Stokes to J Blackwood, OUT! Caught! Stokes gets another one and is the English miracle still possible? Well there is a glimmer of hope for that to happen now. End of a fantastic innings from Blackwood. He will be gutted not to see off the game and also miss out on a well-deserved century. Stokes bowls a fuller delivery outside off, Jermaine looks to go over mid off. He does not get the desired elevation and ends up hitting it to the right of mid off. Anderson there swiftly moves on that side and takes a simple catch. Blackwood cannot finish it off but what a fantastic knock he has played. Will he be furious to miss out the chance to take his side over the line by himself? Yes absolutely but that does not take away anything from his stupendous knock. Take a bow!
Shane Dowrich (W)c Jos Buttler b Ben Stokes 20 37 1 0 54.05
52.5
Ben Stokes to Dowrich, OUT! CAUGHT! This time there is no doubt about the no ball and Dowrich's valuable innings comes to an end. He got lucky in the previous ball but not this time. Stokes is glad and so is the rest of the England team. They still have a chance to win this game. Length ball on off, moving away, Dowrich looks to defend but it takes the outside edge and goes to the right of the keeper. Buttler dives to that side and manages to take the catch. Is it a little too late for the hosts though?
