Stuart Broad's all-round show puts Windies in crisis
Stuart Broad sparked a top-order collapse after starring with the bat as England reduced the West Indies to 137-6 at stumps on the second day of the decisive third Test at Old Trafford on Saturday. England had slumped to 280-8 after losing four wickets for 18 runs before No 10 Broad's swashbuckling 62 took them to a first-innings total of 369.
Captain Holder, Dowirch survive rampaging pace quartet
West Indies were 232 runs behind, when bad light forced an early close, needing 33 more to avoid the follow-on. West Indies captain Jason Holder was 24 not out and Shane Dowrich 10 not out
Veteran duo of Broad, Anderson cause early damages
The veteran new-ball duo of Broad and James Anderson, paired together for the first time this series, both had stumps figures of 2-17.
Campbell's promising start cut short by Archer's ripper
John Campbell, dropped on 10 by normally reliable second slip Ben Stokes, looked increasingly assured while making 32. But fast bowler Jofra Archer, back after being omitted for the second Test, produced a rib-high delivery that Campbell could only fend to gully.
Anderson struck either side of tea to trigger Windies decline
Anderson, England's all-time leading Test wicket-taker, struck either side of tea as the tourists declined to 59-4. The struggling Shai Hope was caught behind for 17 after being squared up by a full-length Anderson delivery that moved away late while Shamarh Brooks inside edged to wicketkeeper Jos Buttler with one that cut the other way.
Broad catches Chase in front of stumps
In a campaign that marked international cricket's return from lockdown, Broad's classic nip-backer had Roston Chase lbw to leave the West Indies in dire straits at 73-5.
Woakes joins the party, England's pace quartet smell success
Jermaine Blackwood looked good during his 26. But Blackwood was bowled between bat and pad by Chris Woakes to give all of England's pace quartet a wicket, with Stokes unable to bowl because of a quad injury.
Dowrich gets a lucky reprieve
Dowrich was lucky when he got in a tangle against an Archer bouncer, only for the ball to just clear the back-pedalling Rory Burns in the gully.
After Day 1 heroics, Pope falters
Earlier, England resumed on 258-4 after losing the toss. Ollie Pope was 91 not out and Buttler unbeaten on 56 -- his first Test fifty in 14 innings. Pope, however, failed to add to his score. In sight of his second Test century, Pope had already been dropped by Rahkeem Cornwall in the slips when Shannon Gabriel clean bowled him to end a fifth-wicket stand of 140.
First fifty for Broad in over 3 years
Buttler was well caught low down for 67 by Holder at second slip. But Broad, who has a highest Test score of 169, counter-attacked with his first fifty at this level in just over three years.
