Right then! Kraigg Brathwaite has been handed over the Richards-Botham Trophy and he goes on to celebrate with his teammates. That's it we have from this exciting series. But the cricketing action does not stop here. You can switch tabs and enjoy our coverage from the Indian T20 League, where Bangalore is taking on Punjab. See you there, folks!

Joe Root, the skipper of England, says that it has been a frustrating Test match, they showed a lot of fire in the first innings. Adds that Day 3 was a very frustrating day for them, as they didn't manage it well. Mentions that they took a few strides forward in the first two games, but he credits West Indies for the way they played this match. Informs that they didn't read the surface, as well as they should have. States that there is still a lot of learning that needs to be done. Adds that Jack Leach has been exceptional and Dan Lawrence also showed a lot of promise, which is very exciting. Concludes by thanking all the fans who came out and supported them.

Kraigg Brathwaite, the victorious skipper is also the PLAYER OF THE SERIES. He says that it feels fantastic to win the series and he thanks all the fans for coming to the stadium and supporting them. Adds that he has been working hard and it is pleasing that he is getting rewards now. Tells that everyone has chipped in at some point and it has been a total team effort. Applauds all his teammates by saying that they have been brilliant. He adds that they had a camp before the series and they ensured that they practiced hard and were aware that this was going to be an important series for them. Tells that the young players in the side are willing to learn and players like Joshua Da Silva, Jayden Seales, and Alzarri Joseph have done really well in this Test series. Mentions that they want to build on this performance and they cannot afford to relax going forward. Says that all the players will need to stay hungry and prepare well for their next series.

Tells that keeping wickets on this track was a challenge and he will take a lot of learnings from this series. Mentions that he will look to improve and keep getting better game-by-game.

Stay tuned for the presentation...

England tried their best, fought hard, but failed in the end. They struggled while batting in both the innings. Their top-order and middle-order failed to score runs, and had it not been for their lower-order, England would have not reached their respectable total of 204 in the first innings. Their bowlers did a fine job at the beginning, but they let West Indies get away at the end, and coming to bowl for the second time, they had very little to fight for. A disappointing tour for them, but still a few positives to take from this tour. Jack Leach finished with 11 wickets in this series, Ben Stokes also displayed his skills in this series.  However, before this tour, they made a bold decision of leaving out Stuart Broad and James Anderson, and that might have hurt them in hindsight. Nevertheless, a lot to think about for England.

We witnessed a run-fest in the previous two Test matches, but this time things were a bit different. West Indies bowlers were right on cue. They displayed their magic in the first innings by dismissing England for 204 runs and they did the same thing in the third innings as well. They made sure that England do not get away with a healthy lead and they bundled out England for 120, the second time. Kyle Mayers was the leader of the pack, he grabbed his maiden five-wicket haul and demolished England's batting line-up. Not to forget Joshua Da Silva's maiden Test hundred which helped West Indies get to 297 while batting. All in all, it's been a sensational performance from the hosts and they have come out on top eventually.

West Indies win, and they win in an emphatic style! The Richards-Botham trophy will stay with West Indies. After two hard-fought draws, we finally get a result in this match. West Indies have given a lot to cheer about to their fans at Grenada. While England have now lost yet another Test series. A lot to ponder for them now. The players of West Indies take a lap of honor to acknowledge the fans that have cheered them from the stands.

Commentary

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.

Review! West Indies have opted for a review for caught behind! The UltraEdge rolls in and it shows a clear spike as the ball passes the bat. The on-field decision needs to be overturned.

64.2W

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Kemar Roach wraps the innings up and Jack Leach fails to survive this time! A fuller ball, outside off, shapes away a tad. Jack Leach looks to push this but manages to get a slight outside edge back to the keeper. Joshua Da Silva takes a good low catch. However, the umpire thinks otherwise and gives it not out. But West Indies opt for a review! The replay does show a spike as the ball passes through the bat and the on-field decision has been overturned. England are all out for 120 and West Indies need 28 runs to win this Test as well as the series.

Kemar Roach drops it short now, down the leg side. Saqib Mahmood pulls it towards deep square leg for a single.

Commentary

We are back for the third innings! The players have made their way out to the middle. Alex Lees and Zak Crawley are at the crease. Kemar Roach will start proceedings with the ball. Let's go!

... Day 3, Session 2 ...

Right then! England have conceded a lead of 93 runs in the first innings and it is now onto their top order batters to make amends in the second innings. West Indies would be keen to make early inroads in the post-Lunch session. Do join us for the middle session which begins at 10.30 pm IST (5 pm GMT).

The man of the moment, Joshua Da Silva is down for a chat. He says that his emotions say it all about his century, tears came down immediately after his 100. Mentions that his family will be mighty pleased as they have always backed him, no matter what, and they will be happy watching him score this 100. States that he trusted Jayden Seales and Kemar Roach and without them, he wouldn't have got to his 100. Informs that he took his time and played his game, whenever he got a chance, he played the shots. Says that the pitch still has something in it for the bowlers.

West Indies did start well with the bat but once they lost their skipper, wickets kept tumbling for them and they lost the plot. Although, their lower order did a good job of hanging around with Joshua Da Silva and they now have a healthy lead of 93 runs. England were denied early breakthroughs but their bowlers came back well and it was Ben Stokes who got rid of the West Indies skipper. All the fast bowlers chipped in with wickets once England opened the floodgates. They were in a dominant position at one point but gave away the momentum and they were frustrated by the resistance that was displayed by the lower-order batters.

Well, it's been a long first session of Day 3, and West Indies will be mighty, mighty pleased with their batting performance here. Who would have thought that they would extend their lead till 93? But England can finally breathe a sigh of relief. A good fightback from the hosts, courtesy of a gutsy hundred from Joshua Da Silva. Windies were stuttering at 128/7 at one point but their lower order has done extremely well to ensure that they get a handy first innings lead. England would be a tad disappointed as they were bossing the game at one stage but have failed to capitalize on the momentum that they had.

116.3W

OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Finally, England have wrapped the innings up! Joe Root comes back into the attack and gets the last wicket. This was a flighted delivery, very full, around middle. Jayden Seales chips it on the left of the bowler. Joe Root takes a sharp catch towards his left and above his head. West Indies are bundled out for 297, with a lead of 93 runs!

116.20

Flatter ball, on a length, around middle. Jayden Seales looks to defend but it takes the inside edge and goes towards square leg.

116.10

NOT OUT! Joshua Da Silva had left the field as he thought he had nicked it but he has been called back now! Everything going West Indies' way! This was a length ball, outside off and jagging back in late. Joshua Da Silva looks to defend but the ball sneaks through his bat and pad and goes through to the keeper. England appeal for a caught behind and the umpire agrees. Joshua Da Silva opts for a review but he starts walking back to the pavilion as he thinks that he had hit that. The UltraEdge though shows that there was a clear daylight between bat and ball. The on-field decision has been overturned and Joshua Da Silva gets a life.

115.44

FOUR! Maiden Test hundred for Joshua Da Silva! He is absolutely ecstatic and this has been a top, top knock from the youngster! Another ball, back of a length, around middle. Joshua Da Silva stays back and whacks it through the mid on region for another boundary. A well-deserved century for West Indies' skipper.

115.34

Commentary

We are moments away from the action. The players of England are out in the middle. Kraigg Brathwaite and John Campbell are the openers for West Indies. Chris Woakes to start with the ball. Three slips in place and a widish gully...

Pitch Report - Mark Butcher is near the pitch. He says the pitch on Day 2 sees live grass but the pitch has dried out. He is joined by Chris Woakes. He says the ball was doing much and it kept the batters on their toes. Adds that the last wicket stand was huge for them and it was an amazing achievement and they are certainly happy from what they were first. Tells that holding the length will be crucial with the ball. If you overpitch, runs will come but they need to stick to the basics.

Phil Simmons, the West Indies coach, says that he got no problems and adds that they bowled pretty well in the first two sessions. He adds that it gets harder to blast opposition when the ball get softer and credit should be given to two batters in the middle. Adds that he is still happy with the total in the end tells that they need to bat well with the new ball. Mentions that playing all-seam attack was due to the nature of the pitch  and adds that Veerasammy Permaul performance was not as good as they expected from him in the first two games, so they decided to make that change.

Day 2 promises to be yet another riveting day of Test cricket and it all depends on how Windies batters tackle the threat of new ball against the English seam-attack on a pitch with good amount of help for the seamers. Unlike the first two games, this game is likely to be a low-scoring encounter and first innings lead can play a crucial part in this decider. The wicket seems to be easing out a bit as was evident on the latter part of Day 1 and England would like to make the most of the new ball in the first session of Day 2. An interesting first session coming up. Stay tuned.

Hello and a warm welcome to Day 2 of the third and final Test match of this three-match Test series between West Indies and England. Day 1 turned out to be quite an engrossing one as the wicket had a good amount of life in it and that made the contest between bat and ball, an interesting one. However, English batters failed to show application for the most part of the day and were staring down the barrel at one point in time. However, Windies bowlers who were quite disciplined throughout the day, let the momentum slip away in the final session as the last wicket pair of Jack Leach and Saqib Mahmood added 90 runs.

... DAY 2, SESSION 1 …

Right then, this has been an engrossing day of Test cricket! England are back in this game and have momentum on their side now and that makes Day 2 even more interesting. The first ball will be bowled at 7.30 pm IST (2.00 pm GMT). Our coverage though will start well in advance. So do join us for the same. Till then, goodbye and cheers!

West Indies will be gutted with how they have let the advantage slip from their pocket after working so hard and bowling so well throughout the day. The pitch provided them with some help and Windies bowlers were on-target almost throughout the day as they bowled nagging lines and lengths. Kyle Mayers was the one who started the collapse and all other bowlers cashed in. At one point of time, it seemed quite possible that England would be bowled out even under 100 but some very poor body language in the last hour or so of the day with some strange tactics have put West Indies in the spot of bother now. They need to bat well on Day 2 now, as the pitch will aid English bowlers, especially with the new ball and it will be interesting to see how things pan out on Day 2.

However, one cannot forget the poor performance by the English batters and once again, their fragility and over-dependence on Root was exposed on the pitch that has some help for the bowlers. The batters failed to show application that is required on a pitch like this and it was finally the duo of Leach and Mahmood that showed the way and brought them out of the jail in the final session. It would have been much worse for them and the batters need to pull their socks up and now it will be interesting to see how their bowlers go about their business on this pitch.

What a day of Test cricket! Take a bow, Jack Leach and Saqib Mahmood. England were down and out but this partnership has taken them to safer shores now. They were 90-8 at one point in time and are now looking in a decent position with more than 200 on the board. This is what Test cricket is all about, it is tough and one cannot put the foot off the paddle at any stage. West Indies were lacklustre as the final wicket partnership started frustrating them and all credit should be given to Leach and Mahmood for showing the grit and fight when their team needed it the most.

Would you believe it, West Indies finally get a wicket off the last over of the day. England have been bowled out for 204 but not before we have seen history been made by the last wicket pair of Saqib Mahmood and Jack Leach!

89.4W

OUT! CHOPPED ON! Finally, West Indies get the wicket. A floated ball, on a length and outside off. Saqib Mahmood tries to hoick it on the leg side but gets a bottom edge and it ricochets onto the stumps. What a superb innings it was from Mahmood and from Leach as well. One to remember for a long time. England are all-out on 204 and that will be Stumps on Day 1.

89.34

FOUR! Thumped! Mahmood showing aggression!  Fuller and on off. Mahmood comes down the track and hammers it past the bowler and straight down the ground for a boundary.

89.10

Commentary

Right then! Kraigg Brathwaite has been handed over the Richards-Botham Trophy and he goes on to celebrate with his teammates. That's it we have from this exciting series. But the cricketing action does not stop here. You can switch tabs and enjoy our coverage from the Indian T20 League, where Bangalore is taking on Punjab. See you there, folks!

Joe Root, the skipper of England, says that it has been a frustrating Test match, they showed a lot of fire in the first innings. Adds that Day 3 was a very frustrating day for them, as they didn't manage it well. Mentions that they took a few strides forward in the first two games, but he credits West Indies for the way they played this match. Informs that they didn't read the surface, as well as they should have. States that there is still a lot of learning that needs to be done. Adds that Jack Leach has been exceptional and Dan Lawrence also showed a lot of promise, which is very exciting. Concludes by thanking all the fans who came out and supported them.

Kraigg Brathwaite, the victorious skipper is also the PLAYER OF THE SERIES. He says that it feels fantastic to win the series and he thanks all the fans for coming to the stadium and supporting them. Adds that he has been working hard and it is pleasing that he is getting rewards now. Tells that everyone has chipped in at some point and it has been a total team effort. Applauds all his teammates by saying that they have been brilliant. He adds that they had a camp before the series and they ensured that they practiced hard and were aware that this was going to be an important series for them. Tells that the young players in the side are willing to learn and players like Joshua Da Silva, Jayden Seales, and Alzarri Joseph have done really well in this Test series. Mentions that they want to build on this performance and they cannot afford to relax going forward. Says that all the players will need to stay hungry and prepare well for their next series.

Joshua Da Silva is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH. He says that he has dreamt of getting a hundred and he is very happy with his performance. Adds that all the credit goes to his batting partners and it was because of them that he was able to get his hundred. Tells that keeping wickets on this track was a challenge and he will take a lot of learnings from this series. Mentions that he will look to improve and keep getting better game-by-game.

Stay tuned for the presentation...

England tried their best, fought hard, but failed in the end. They struggled while batting in both the innings. Their top-order and middle-order failed to score runs, and had it not been for their lower-order, England would have not reached their respectable total of 204 in the first innings. Their bowlers did a fine job at the beginning, but they let West Indies get away at the end, and coming to bowl for the second time, they had very little to fight for. A disappointing tour for them, but still a few positives to take from this tour. Jack Leach finished with 11 wickets in this series, Ben Stokes also displayed his skills in this series.  However, before this tour, they made a bold decision of leaving out Stuart Broad and James Anderson, and that might have hurt them in hindsight. Nevertheless, a lot to think about for England.

We witnessed a run-fest in the previous two Test matches, but this time things were a bit different. West Indies bowlers were right on cue. They displayed their magic in the first innings by dismissing England for 204 runs and they did the same thing in the third innings as well. They made sure that England do not get away with a healthy lead and they bundled out England for 120, the second time. Kyle Mayers was the leader of the pack, he grabbed his maiden five-wicket haul and demolished England's batting line-up. Not to forget Joshua Da Silva's maiden Test hundred which helped West Indies get to 297 while batting. All in all, it's been a sensational performance from the hosts and they have come out on top eventually.

West Indies win, and they win in an emphatic style! The Richards-Botham trophy will stay with West Indies. After two hard-fought draws, we finally get a result in this match. West Indies have given a lot to cheer about to their fans at Grenada. While England have now lost yet another Test series. A lot to ponder for them now. The players of West Indies take a lap of honor to acknowledge the fans that have cheered them from the stands.

Commentary

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.

Review! West Indies have opted for a review for caught behind! The UltraEdge rolls in and it shows a clear spike as the ball passes the bat. The on-field decision needs to be overturned.

64.2W

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Kemar Roach wraps the innings up and Jack Leach fails to survive this time! A fuller ball, outside off, shapes away a tad. Jack Leach looks to push this but manages to get a slight outside edge back to the keeper. Joshua Da Silva takes a good low catch. However, the umpire thinks otherwise and gives it not out. But West Indies opt for a review! The replay does show a spike as the ball passes through the bat and the on-field decision has been overturned. England are all out for 120 and West Indies need 28 runs to win this Test as well as the series.

64.11

Kemar Roach drops it short now, down the leg side. Saqib Mahmood pulls it towards deep square leg for a single.

We are set for Day 4 to get underway! The players have made their way out to the middle. Chris Woakes and Jack Leach are at the crease. Jayden Seales will start proceedings with the ball. Let's go!

PITCH REPORT - Mark Butcher and Steven Harmison are near the pitch. The former says that the cracks have opened up a bit and there can be some variable bounce. Harmison says that hitting the right areas is key on this pitch. Butcher says that the pitch hasn't deteriorated much and it has been dry since Day 1.

West Indies have been bossing the game so far and they will be keen to wrap things up early on in the first session of Day 4. Kyle Mayers picked wickets for fun on Day 3 and West Indies require two more wickets to bowl out the opposition. England lead by just 10 runs and they would hope that their tail-enders, along with Chris Woakes stretch the lead as far as possible and give their bowlers something to play with in the last innings. The English side has a tough task in front of them and it is West Indies who are on the brink of clinching the Richards-Botham Trophy. Stay tuned as the live action begins shortly.

Hello and a very warm welcome to the coverage of Day 4 of the final Test match between England and West Indies. This could also turn out to be the last day of this enthralling Test series, unless we see the English tail-enders repeating their heroics of the first innings.

... Day 4, Session 1 ...

Right then! Another intriguing day of Test cricket comes to an end. England's lead is just 10 runs in the second innings, and they have only two wickets in hand to extend their lead. West Indies will be smelling victory from here and will be looking to wrap things up as soon as possible in the first session on Day 4. The first ball of Day 4 will be bowled at 7.30 pm IST (2.00 pm GMT). As you know, our build-up will start well in advance. So do join us for the same. Till then, goodbye and cheers!

Kyle Mayers is up for a quick chat. He says that his performance is very special for him. Mentions that straighter deliveries were working for him with variable bounce and movement and he just wanted to make the batters play as much as possible. Informs that Joshua Da Silva's innings was very special, and it was very emotional for him also. Says that he just waited for his turn to play and the opportunity turned in and he grabbed it.

Earlier in the day, it was the pair of Jayden Seales and Joshua Da Silva who frustrated the English bowlers as they stitched together a partnership of 52 runs for the last wicket and ensured that they get a healthy lead. Joshua Da Silva registered his maiden Test hundred, which is also turning out to be a match-winning one for the Windies. Then it was their bowlers, especially Kyle Mayers who kept the English batters on their toes and it was Mayers' spell that completely shifted the match in West Indies' favor. Apart from Alex Lees and Jonny Bairstow, no other batter managed to get into double figures for England, and they now find themselves in deep, deep trouble heading into Day 4.

Well, Day 3 of a Test match is said to be a moving day and this Test has moved at a rate of knots, courtesy of some fine bowling performance from West Indies! They have completely dominated Day 3 and are on the brink of a Test series win heading into Day 4. England's batting woes continued in their second innings and they have only themselves to blame. Kyle Mayers has been the star performer for the Windies and his inclusion in this Test match has turned out to be a terrific decision.

OUT! RUN OUT! Oh, dear! This is the last thing England wanted at this stage! England are falling into a deeper hole! Absolutely needless running from Ben Foakes and Alex Lees. This was another short ball, around leg. Ben Foakes tucks it behind square on the leg side. He completes the first run with ease and calls for the second run. Kyle Mayers picks the ball in the deep and throws it to the keeper. Joshua Da Silva collects the ball and disturbs the stumps. Ben Foakes dives to get inside the crease but he is well short of his crease. It is all West Indies at the moment and England are falling apart!

Is that a run out? There is a throw at the keeper's end. The replay rolls in and shows that Ben Foakes is short of his ground. His dive could not save him and he walks back to the hut.

41.50

Banged into the deck, down leg. Ben Foakes sways away from the line of the ball.

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Alzarri Joseph provides the breakthrough for West Indies and a set batter departs. A wicket against the run of play and Joseph coming 'round the wicket has done the trick for him. Bairstow tried to up the ante but ends up throwing away his wicket in doing so. Joseph serves a shorter length delivery, angling across the batter. Bairstow looks to pull hard but he only manages an under edge which goes through to the keeper. Joshua Da Silva takes a simple catch and England find themselves in a spot of bother now.

DRINKS! The pair of Jonny Bairstow and Alex Lees has done well to keep the Windies bowlers at bay after England lost wickets in quick succession before the Tea break. Although, they still trail by 16 runs and the pair must ensure that they bat till Stumps. For West Indies, they aren't getting much assistance from the surface and their bowlers will need to work hard to pick wickets from hereon.

We are back for the final session of the day! The players are out in the middle. Alex Lees and Jonny Bairstow will resume their innings. Kemar Roach will begin with the ball. Here we go...

... Day 3, Session 3 ...

Right then! West Indies still lead by 50 runs. They will look to pick the remaining 6 wickets as early as possible. Things are a little tough for England but for now, they need to rebuild and Alex Lees and Jonny Bairstow need to stick around till the end of the day at least. We have an exciting final session coming up which begins at 12:30 am IST (7:00 pm GMT, previous day). Stay tuned!

West Indies bowlers are breathing fire at the moment, Kyle Mayers, in particular. Jayden Seales began the proceedings by grabbing the wicket of Zak Crawley, and since then it's been only Kyle Mayers leading the charge. He was been very disciplined with his bowling and has been rewarded with three wickets. Coming into this session West Indies were in a comfortable position but at the end of this session, they are in a commanding position. Top-order of England has failed once again. However, Alex Lees is the batter who is at the crease since the very first over, he is looking settled for now but he will want to carry on till the end of the day along with Jonny Bairstow at the other end. England trail only by 50 runs, but it still feels a long way to go for them. We did witness the lower-order of England chipping in with vital runs at the end of the first innings, so they do have batting left but they cannot afford to lose more wickets.

What a session this has been for West Indies! A lead of 93 was always looking tough for England. The hosts are well in control of this game, whereas England are not having the best day in the office! They will be disappointed with their effort with the bat thus far.

Commentary

We are back for the third innings! The players have made their way out to the middle. Alex Lees and Zak Crawley are at the crease. Kemar Roach will start proceedings with the ball. Let's go!

... Day 3, Session 2 ...

Right then! England have conceded a lead of 93 runs in the first innings and it is now onto their top order batters to make amends in the second innings. West Indies would be keen to make early inroads in the post-Lunch session. Do join us for the middle session which begins at 10.30 pm IST (5 pm GMT).

The man of the moment, Joshua Da Silva is down for a chat. He says that his emotions say it all about his century, tears came down immediately after his 100. Mentions that his family will be mighty pleased as they have always backed him, no matter what, and they will be happy watching him score this 100. States that he trusted Jayden Seales and Kemar Roach and without them, he wouldn't have got to his 100. Informs that he took his time and played his game, whenever he got a chance, he played the shots. Says that the pitch still has something in it for the bowlers.

West Indies did start well with the bat but once they lost their skipper, wickets kept tumbling for them and they lost the plot. Although, their lower order did a good job of hanging around with Joshua Da Silva and they now have a healthy lead of 93 runs. England were denied early breakthroughs but their bowlers came back well and it was Ben Stokes who got rid of the West Indies skipper. All the fast bowlers chipped in with wickets once England opened the floodgates. They were in a dominant position at one point but gave away the momentum and they were frustrated by the resistance that was displayed by the lower-order batters.

Well, it's been a long first session of Day 3, and West Indies will be mighty, mighty pleased with their batting performance here. Who would have thought that they would extend their lead till 93? But England can finally breathe a sigh of relief. A good fightback from the hosts, courtesy of a gutsy hundred from Joshua Da Silva. Windies were stuttering at 128/7 at one point but their lower order has done extremely well to ensure that they get a handy first innings lead. England would be a tad disappointed as they were bossing the game at one stage but have failed to capitalize on the momentum that they had.

116.3W

OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Finally, England have wrapped the innings up! Joe Root comes back into the attack and gets the last wicket. This was a flighted delivery, very full, around middle.

DRINKS! England started off well by grabbing an early wicket of Kemar Roach.

The partnership between Jayden Seales and Joshua Da Silva has also started to frustrate England. They will need to wrap this inning sup as fast as possible and not let West Indies get away with a big lead.

A fuller ball, angling in, around middle and off. Joshua Da Silva pushes it towards cover for a single. We are underway on Day 3!

We are all set for action to get underway on Day 3! The players are out in the middle. Joshua Da Silva and Kemar Roach will continue their batting. Saqib Mahmood will begin with the ball. Here we go...

PITCH REPORT - Mark Butcher and Curtly Ambrose are down near the pitch. Mark says that there is still a thick covering of grass and full is not the ideal length for the bowlers today. Curtly Ambrose adds that most of the spice has gone out of the deck, and the bowlers have to go short of a length and hit the deck hard.

Kemar Roach is down for a chat. He says it's good to have some grass on the wicket and he adds that there is a result in this Test for sure, but they have to come out and bat well and add a few more runs, to begin with. Mentions that we haven't had a pitch with grass as the conditions are different for the batters. Concludes by saying that the pitch is playing a bit up and down, but there is some movement now, and adding a few more runs now will definitely help them.

The visitors will be looking to wrap things up as quickly as possible. They do have the advantage with them since they just have two wickets to grab with a ball that is just 6 overs old. They will be hoping the tail of West Indies does not wag for too long and they can come on to bat once again. We have an intriguing first session coming up. Stay tuned!

West Indies ended Day 2 with a slim lead of 28 runs. Joshua Da Silva and Kemar Roach have put together over 50 runs and they will be hoping they can carry on the same way and extend their lead. However, it is not going to be easy considering the pitch has not been the best to bat on.

Hello and welcome back, folks to the final Test of this entertaining series between West Indies and England. We are now heading towards Day 3 of this final Test which is known as the moving day and by the looks of it, we could probably get a result in this Test. Well maybe it’s too early to say that there is not much to differentiate between the two sides, but by the end of this moving day, we will surely get an idea of where the Test match is headed towards.

... DAY 3 ...

Right then, another riveting day of Test cricket comes to an end. The lead is now 28 for West Indies and Day 3 could well turn out to be a deciding day of this Test match. The first ball will be bowled at 7.30 pm IST (2.00 pm GMT). As you know, our coverage will start well in advance. So do join us for the same. Till then, goodbye and cheers!

Joshua Da Silva is up for a quick chat. He says his home form was not good but he is very happy today. Says that Alzarri Joseph and Roach played a good part to build a partnership and he feels their lower order can bat well. Tells that the pitch is flattened up, just some balls are staying low and hopes to bat the same way tomorrow and get as many runs as possible.

England, on the other hand, would feel that they should have done better post-Tea. They got 7 wickets in the first two sessions and would have fancied bundling out Windies quickly after Tea. However, by the time they got rid of Alzarri Joseph, West Indies were quite close to the English total and England failed to get any further breakthrough in the final session. Earlier, Woakes finally showed his class in the middle session with three crucial wickets to break the backbone of West Indies batting lineup. Stokes did what he is known to do and got two big breakthroughs when the partnership was building. However, just like Windies bowlers struggled in the final session on Day 1, English bowlers also failed to keep the intensity up in the final session and now need to take two wickets early on Day 3 to avoid West Indies take healthy first innings lead on this tricky pitch.

This has been quite an absorbing Test so far and after two days of Test cricket, there is nothing much to separate the two sides. The West Indies innings followed almost the same pattern of the England’s innings as middle-order failed to put up much resistance despite a decent opening partnership. However, much like England’s lower order, Windies' lower-order batters also contributed and Joshua Da Silva with his stellar technique is leading the way of the lower-order resilience. It has been a fine knock by the wicket-keeper batter and the Windies will hope that he can continue his good work on Day 3.

West Indies end Day 2 with a lead of 28 runs! Only one wicket in the final session after 7 wickets in the first two session and West Indies have their noses slightly ahead at the end of Day 2. However, the lead is not significant still and if England can knock down this last two wickets quickly on Day 3, we are in for second innings shootout.

The light meter is out again and this time, the umpire thinks that the light is not good enough to continue and it will be stumps on Day 2!

Drinks! England need two wickets to wrap up this innings while West Indies need 22 runs more to match up with England's first innings score. This shows how close this game has been so far. There is nothing much to separate the two sides but England have done well to get rid of Alzarri Joseph and would be hoping to avoid any sort of resistance by the lower order now. West Indies, on the other hand, would hope that the pair of Joshua Da Silva and Kemar Roach score as much runs as possible and cut down the deficit and take them to the position where Windies can take a crucial lead.

We are back for the final session! England players are out there in the middle. Matthew Fisher is on the field in place of Saqib Mahmood. Hopefully his injury is not too serious. Alzarri Joseph and Joshua Da Silva walk out to the middle to resume their innings. Chris Woakes to start with the ball for England. Here we go...

... DAY 2, SESSION 3 …

The pitch stayed the same and so did the English bowlers' objective. They continued with short balls and kept it very tight throughout and eventually got four wickets in the session. West Indies still trail by 70 runs and Joshua Da Silva is the only known batter left out. They need a big partnership and at least try and shrink the deficit. The final session is coming up shortly. Do join us for the same.

Session 2, Overs - 26, Runs - 63, Wickets - 4. England bossing yet another session and it was Chris Woakes who ran through the Windies' middle-order lineup. He was low in confidence but this session will give him much more conviction after taking three wickets in his spell. Mayers was batting with intent but he gave away his wicket and England are three wickets away from bundling the host out. Joshua Da Silva and Alzarri Joseph need to steady the ship now.

Drinks! English bowlers have taken the momentum of the second-half of the first session into this post-Lunch session and have bowled with some great plans and accuracy. Chris Woakes seems to have finally arrived on the Caribbean shores as he bowled his heart out to take three wickets in this hour of play. Windies have lost the cream of their batting lineup and it is upto their lower-order now to bail them out of trouble. West Indies still trail by 98 runs and they need a partnership now to bring some stability back into this innings.

We are back for the second session. The players are out in the middle. Jermaine Blackwood and Nkrumah Bonner to resume their batting. Chris Woakes to start for England.

... Day 2, Session 2...

West Indies will be disappointed after the start they got. Kraigg Brathwaite, probably the best batter of West Indies got out after a good start. The disappointment continued for Campbell as he too got yet another good start but failed to continue the momentum. The pitch started to open up and it became difficult to bat on as the game progressed. There was bounce occasionally and sometimes the ball stayed too low which was seen in this session. It seems like the pitch will stay the same in the afternoon session which will begin at 10.10 pm IST (4.40 pm GMT) and West Indies will have to be extremely careful as they look to do the repair work. Do join us for the post-Lunch session.

Session 1, Overs 25 - Runs - 71, Wickets- 3. The tourist will be the happier side going into the break. The first hour of play did not create much chances as England were inconsistent with their lines and lengths but all of a sudden things changed as the lines were much short and there was much more intent. Stokes and Mahmood got assistance from the pitch as the ball stayed low while Overton targeted the body of Campbell and twice struck him on the helmet and eventually got his wicket. One thing is, the pitch is still helping the bowlers and England will love to replicate the same in the next session.

The ball hits his pads and Saqib Mahmood starts celebrating immediately. He turns back to the umpire eventually to appeal and the umpire raises his finger. Brooks has a chat with John Campbell but decided against taking a review and suddenly two wickets for England and this kind of uneven bounce will put doubts in the mind of the incoming batters.

22.10

A length ball, around off, this one nips back in off the surface and stays low off the deck as well. Brathwaite hangs back to defend but gets beaten by the stir of the ball.

FOUR! A loosener to start with! Too full, and down the leg side. Brathwaite looks to flick but gets an inside edge and past the diving keeper for a boundary.

Drinks! This has been quite a solid start for the West Indies. The first hour of the day was always going to be crucial and both the Windies openers have negotiated the new ball with good application and organised technique. England bowlers, on the other hand, have been inconsistent in their lines and lengths and have failed to put pressure on the batters. England need wickets here as they don’t have lot of runs to work with and the conditions are likely to improve for batting as the ball gets softer and the sun beats down. Craig Overton (3-0-9-0) is back into the attack.

Commentary

We are moments away from the action. The players of England are out in the middle. Kraigg Brathwaite and John Campbell are the openers for West Indies. Chris Woakes to start with the ball. Three slips in place and a widish gully...

Pitch Report - Mark Butcher is near the pitch. He says the pitch on Day 2 sees live grass but the pitch has dried out. He is joined by Chris Woakes. He says the ball was doing much and it kept the batters on their toes. Adds that the last wicket stand was huge for them and it was an amazing achievement and they are certainly happy from what they were first. Tells that holding the length will be crucial with the ball. If you overpitch, runs will come but they need to stick to the basics.

Phil Simmons, the West Indies coach, says that he got no problems and adds that they bowled pretty well in the first two sessions. He adds that it gets harder to blast opposition when the ball get softer and credit should be given to two batters in the middle. Adds that he is still happy with the total in the end tells that they need to bat well with the new ball. Mentions that playing all-seam attack was due to the nature of the pitch  and adds that Veerasammy Permaul performance was not as good as they expected from him in the first two games, so they decided to make that change.

Day 2 promises to be yet another riveting day of Test cricket and it all depends on how Windies batters tackle the threat of new ball against the English seam-attack on a pitch with good amount of help for the seamers. Unlike the first two games, this game is likely to be a low-scoring encounter and first innings lead can play a crucial part in this decider. The wicket seems to be easing out a bit as was evident on the latter part of Day 1 and England would like to make the most of the new ball in the first session of Day 2. An interesting first session coming up. Stay tuned.

Hello and a warm welcome to Day 2 of the third and final Test match of this three-match Test series between West Indies and England. Day 1 turned out to be quite an engrossing one as the wicket had a good amount of life in it and that made the contest between bat and ball, an interesting one. However, English batters failed to show application for the most part of the day and were staring down the barrel at one point in time. However, Windies bowlers who were quite disciplined throughout the day, let the momentum slip away in the final session as the last wicket pair of Jack Leach and Saqib Mahmood added 90 runs.

... DAY 2, SESSION 1 …

Right then, this has been an engrossing day of Test cricket! England are back in this game and have momentum on their side now and that makes Day 2 even more interesting. The first ball will be bowled at 7.30 pm IST (2.00 pm GMT). Our coverage though will start well in advance. So do join us for the same. Till then, goodbye and cheers!

West Indies will be gutted with how they have let the advantage slip from their pocket after working so hard and bowling so well throughout the day. The pitch provided them with some help and Windies bowlers were on-target almost throughout the day as they bowled nagging lines and lengths. Kyle Mayers was the one who started the collapse and all other bowlers cashed in. At one point of time, it seemed quite possible that England would be bowled out even under 100 but some very poor body language in the last hour or so of the day with some strange tactics have put West Indies in the spot of bother now. They need to bat well on Day 2 now, as the pitch will aid English bowlers, especially with the new ball and it will be interesting to see how things pan out on Day 2.

However, one cannot forget the poor performance by the English batters and once again, their fragility and over-dependence on Root was exposed on the pitch that has some help for the bowlers. The batters failed to show application that is required on a pitch like this and it was finally the duo of Leach and Mahmood that showed the way and brought them out of the jail in the final session. It would have been much worse for them and the batters need to pull their socks up and now it will be interesting to see how their bowlers go about their business on this pitch.

What a day of Test cricket! Take a bow, Jack Leach and Saqib Mahmood. England were down and out but this partnership has taken them to safer shores now. They were 90-8 at one point in time and are now looking in a decent position with more than 200 on the board. This is what Test cricket is all about, it is tough and one cannot put the foot off the paddle at any stage. West Indies were lacklustre as the final wicket partnership started frustrating them and all credit should be given to Leach and Mahmood for showing the grit and fight when their team needed it the most.

Would you believe it, West Indies finally get a wicket off the last over of the day. England have been bowled out for 204 but not before we have seen history been made by the last wicket pair of Saqib Mahmood and Jack Leach!

OUT! CHOPPED ON! Finally, West Indies get the wicket. A floated ball, on a length and outside off.

One to remember for a long time. England are all-out on 204 and that will be Stumps on Day 1.

We are back for the final session. Chris Woakes and Jack Leach will continue their batting. Jayden Seales is ready to bowl but Leach is late to arrive. Here he is running across and we are ready to play.

... Day 1, Session 3...

The pace attack of West Indies continue to do their incredible job. They took the wicket of Stokes, right at the beginning of the session and their discipline bowling attack was rewarded with the middle-order wickets. Interestingly, Kyle Mayers was not seen after his first spell, right at the start. But as of now, the host did not require much of his service. West Indies will hope they take the remaining two wickets as soon as possible. Join us back in a short while for the final session.

Jayden Seales is up for a quick chat. He says that it is a bit of fun to bowl here with some grass and movement. He adds that they wanted to stick with their plans and be consistent because there is some movement in the pitch. He mentions that the pitch has got a little better to bat on but it is about sticking to their plans.

A session that belongs to West Indies. England are in all sorts of trouble as they lost 5 wickets in this session. We told you how important Root is in this England's line up and we just saw a collapse after his wicket. Woakes and Leach are doing a superb job with some repair work. They have crossed the first hurdle - to scratch the 100 runs mark and anything further is welcomed by both hands.

We are back for the afternoon session! West Indies players are out there in the middle. Alex Lees and Ben Stokes are also in the middle to resume their innings. Kemar Roach will start with the ball for West Indies. Here we go...

... DAY 1, SESSION 2 …

Right then, the first session has been dominated by the Windies seamers. However, they need to keep the good work going as the wicket has some spice in it and has enough help for the seamers. England batters have a tough task ahead of them and it will be interesting to see how they go about their business in the afternoon session. Stay tuned as we will back at 10.10 pm IST (4.40 pm GMT) for the second session.

Kyle Mayers is up for a quick chat. He says that he was sticking to his plans and was mixing in between and all came off according to the plans. On the wicket of Root, he tells that he is happy to take the big wicket. Informs there was seam early on and the ball is moving and he hopes that the wicket stays the same and changes tomorrow.

Root is the pillar of this English side and once you get that man for a duck, more often than not you will see this English batting unit struggling. It has been the case this morning as this fresh pitch provided good help for the seamers and Zak Crawley played a loose shot going for an expansive drive away from his body. Root could not trouble the scorers and with the in-form Dan Lawrence also back in the hut, England need Lees and Stokes to show more character and fight in the middle session.

Windies skipper, Kraigg Brathwaite elected to bowl first having opted for an all-pace attack on a greenish looking pitch. His bowlers didn’t disappoint him either as they bowled nagging lines and lengths to trouble English batters on a regular basis. However, the star of the show was the man who is playing his first Test match of the series, Kyle Mayers. He bowled five maidens in a row and got two wickets on the way, including a big one of English skipper, Joe Root. Jayden Seales then came back for his second spell in the latter part of the session and got rid of Dan Lawrence to make sure that the pressure is on England going into the Lunch break.

46 runs in 27 overs with three wickets in the first session of this final Test match! Windies will surely go back as the happier side into the break. However, the most pleasing aspect for every Test cricket lover out there is that the pitch promises to provide better balance between the bat and ball and if first session is anything to go by, we are in for some engrossing cricket.

NOT OUT! West Indies lose their review! Holder lands this fuller on middle and it nips back in. Dan Lawrence looks to defend it but misses. The ball hits his pads and there is an appeal. The umpire though is not interested. Kraigg Brathwaite takes his time and then takes a review. The replays roll in and the UltraEdge shows no bat involved. The Ball Tracker shows that the ball is missing stumps. So the original decision stays and Dan Lawrence will continue.

Review taken. Holder convinces Kraigg Brathwaite to take the LBW decision upstairs. No bat there. Ball Tracking shows wickets missing and West Indies have lost two reviews now.

14.5W

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! What an inspired selection this is already proving out to be! What a delivery, yet again by Mayers! He gets the big fish now. Lands on a good length, around off. Root is stuck on his crease and looks to defend. The ball seams away a bit after pitching and catches the outside edge of Root's blade. The ball goes back to Joshua Da Silva behind the stumps and he takes an easy catch to send back the English skipper on his way. Two quick wickets and Windies are right on the top now.

Drinks! So far, the host will be happy with the first hour of play. One wicket while giving away just 29 runs and they are bowling with probing lines and lengths as well. England, on the other hand, needs these two to bat for as long as possible and go unhurt to the end of this session.

OUT! CAUGHT! Kyle Mayers strikes and the Windies get their first wicket. Loose, very loose from Zak Crawley and a sharp catch from Kraigg Brathwaite to send back the English opener back to the hut. Lands on a length, around off and it is a cross-seam delivery. Zak Crawley goes for a big booming drive on the up and ends up hitting it straight to short cover. The ball hits high on his bat and Kraigg Brathwaite takes a sharp catch. So an early wicket for Windies and this pitch surely has more life than what we saw in the previous games.

Back of a length, around off. Lees goes back and blocks it out.

11.30

11.20

We are moments away from the start of the third Test match. West Indies players are out there in the middle. Alex Lees and Zak Crawley are the openers for England. Both teams take a knee in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Now, Kemar Roach has a ball in his hand and Windies will look to take full advantage of any movement that is on offer on this pitch with the new ball. Here we go...

Pitch Report - Mark Butcher is near the pitch. He says there is a layer of green and bit of dampness and due to the cracks, the pitch might end up doing up and down. Informs there was some rain around. Adds that there will be sideways movement for the seamers.

Joe Root, the skipper of England, says that they have done lot of good stuff throughout the series and adds that they want to build from it. He mentions that every Test match one plays, one wants to contribute. He adds that their are some cracks in this pitch and hopes that it goes in their favour. He informs that their is one change in their team with Craig Overton replacing Matthew Fisher.

Kraigg Brathwaite, the skipper of West Indies, says they will bowl first. Explains that there is some moisture on the pitch and has a decent layer of grass. Tells the batting order has been showing good fight in each Test and he just wants to build a good foundation while batting. Informs there is one change as Kyle Mayers comes in for Veerasammy Permaul.

England (Playing XI) - Alex Lees, Zak Crawley, Joe Root (C), Dan Lawrence, Ben Stokes, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Foakes (WK), Chris Woakes, Craig Overton (In place of Matthew Fisher), Jack Leach, Saqib Mahmood.

West Indies (Playing XI) - Kraigg Brathwaite (C), John Campbell, Shamarh Brooks, Nkrumah Bonner, Jermaine Blackwood, Jason Holder, Joshua Da Silva (WK), Kyle Mayers (In place of Veerasammy Permaul), Kemar Roach, Jayden Seales, Alzarri Joseph.

TOSS - The coin goes up and lands in favour of West Indies. They have elected to BOWL first.

The skippers, Joe Root and Kraigg Brathwaite have dominated the batting department but it is harsh to blame the bowlers for it. The pitches have been pretty slow and low and bowlers from both teams have struggled to put pressure on the opposition’s batting lineup on a consistent basis. Saqib Mahmood had a debut to remember in the second Test and he might well be the x-factor England require with his extra pace to push for a result in this Test match. Jack Leach too has bowled well throughout the series while the Windies' bowling attack led by the experienced Kemar Roach also need to pull their socks coming into this final Test match. Will we see a result in the decider or this series will see yet another draw? We wait to find out. Stay tuned for the toss and other updates.

Hello and a warm welcome to the third and final Test match between England and West Indies. From Barbados, we move our attention to Grenada but still, it is hard to say which team has dominated the series so far. After two consecutive draws, the first thing viewers are hoping for is a pitch that will give some assistance to the bowler hence giving us an equal battle and a result to cheer.

... Day 1, Session 1...
