England found themselves in the driver's seat against the West Indies in the 3rd Test match and are looking as the favourites to lift the ongoing Wisden Trophy between the two nations. Stuart Broad shines with both bat and ball in the match, returning with figures of 8-39 along with his dominant 45-ball 62 run-knock to provide some finishing touches to England’s first innings total. Broad’s bowling performance throughout the match also places him just one wicket away from entering the exclusive 500-wicket club in Tests.

England vs West Indies: Stuart Broad wickets-laden day on the field

West Indies resumed Day 3 on their overnight score of 137-6. Stuart Broad picked all of their remaining first innings wickets in the morning to shot out the Jason Holder-led side for just 197. England, enjoying a first-innings advantage of 172 runs, further stretched their lead to 398 runs on the back of some governing batting by Rory Burns and Joe Root.

With a target of 399 to win the match and the series, the visiting batsmen made their way out to the middle to survive six overs of hostile fast bowling from James Anderson and Stuart Broad. Broad then dismissed opener John Campbell and night watchman Kemar Roach off back-to-back overs to extend his Test wickets tally from 497 to 499. At the end of Day 3, West Indies were placed at 10-2, with two days to survive and 389 runs away from pulling off an unlikely victory.
