After being asked to bat first by West Indies, England looked in trouble at 122 for 4 but Buttler and Pope played with intent helping the hosts end day 1 on 258 for 4. The West Indies bowlers made a strong comeback on the 2nd morning picking four quick wickets putting hosts under the pressure at 280 for 8.

Stuart Broad counterattacking knock of 62 from 45 balls and partnership of 76 runs for the 9th wicket with Dom Bess helped England post 369. After being left in the first Test at Southampton, Broad wrecked West Indies batting line up to pick 6 for 31 to bowl the visitors out for 197.
Thanks to a solid 114 runs stand for the opening between Sibley and Burns, England laid a strong foundation as they declared their innings on 226 for 2. England captain Root came into the form with a quickfire 68 off 56 balls.

Stuart Broad was superb with the new ball in the 2nd innings dismissing John Campbell and night-watchman Kemar Roach. It looks like an impossible task for the visitors.

The West Indies batsmen need to show steal of nerves to save the Test match. England requires 8 wickets to win the Wisden Trophy. It promises to be an exciting final day and hope to see a tough fight.
