WI vs ENG, 3rd Test, Day 3 Highlights
We are back for the final innings of this Test! The players have made their way out to the middle. John Campbell and Kraigg Brathwaite are at the crease. Chris Woakes will start with the ball. Here we go...
... Fourth innings ...
It has been another dismal batting performance from England. Their dependence on their skipper, Joe Root was exposed yet again as none of their batters managed to get in and score big. For West Indies, it was the game-changing spell of Kyle Mayers that completely turned the game in Windies' favor. All their bowlers stuck to their task and have ensured that they don't have a mountain to climb in the fourth innings.
So England have only managed to add only 17 more runs to their overnight score. West Indies now need just 28 runs to seal the series now and it should be a cakewalk for them. The Windies bowlers have made sure that the English tail doesn't wag as it did in the first innings. It was Kemar Roach who picked up the remaining two wickets and England now are on the brink of a series defeat.

England are all out for 120 and West Indies need 28 runs to win this Test as well as the series.
