1. Day 3 begins
)
West Indies had a superb start to day two as they picked four wickets for 22 runs and celebrated Kemar Roach reaching 200 Test wickets.
But that's about it as they lost the plot when Broad started to channel 2005-Shane-Warne. That innings demoralized the Windies.
As for Windies coming in to bat, Broad and Anderson got rid of the West Indian top order in no time. Blackwood and Holder had a decent stand for the sixth wicket, but Woakes bowled a peach of a delivery to get rid of Blackwood, going through his gates.
A big partnership is the need of the hour for the visitors if they want to put up a fight.
2. Jason Holder reaches his 2000 Test runs but soon departs
)
Broad to Holder, out Lbw!!
It was the nip-backer and Holder is guilty of playing all around it, he falls over as well and is struck right in front of the stumps. Umpire Richard Kettleborough was quick to raise his hand, however, Holder challenged the decision. Ball-tracking showed it to be crashing into leg-stump.

4. Joshua da Silva is the substitute keeper for injured Dowrich
)
It was going to be Shai Hope who would don the wicketkeeper's gloves in place of injured Dowrich. However, Joshua da Silva is the substitute keeper.
Dowrich got his upper lip is bleeding. The ball sanitized as there was some blood on it.

10. Stuart Broad on 499 wickets
)
Broad to John Campbell, out Caught by Root!!
A round the wicket Broad and lefties. A rather simple looking delivery just outside off, but, the angle coming in demands a poke. An outside-edge as well straight down first slip's throat.
John Campbell c Root b Broad 0(3)
Broad to Roach, out Caught by Buttler!!
Probing around in the channel just outside off, and Roach can't not poke. He pushes away from his body in some sort of a drive. He gets the nick and the 'keeper makes it.
Roach c Buttler b Broad 4(5
