Hello and we are ready to begin. Chris Woakes with a one over old new ball. Three slips in place
Day 3: A 175-run stand between Kavem Hodge and Alick Athanaze was the highlight of the second day of this second Test match, as West Indies came fighting back to wrestle a bit of ascendency in this Test match. They begin today trailing England’s first innings score by just 65 runs, with Holder and Joshua da Silva having got their eye in with a 46-run unbeaten partnership. It is a cloudy morning today in Trent Bridge and there could be some scattered showers too later in the day. Better bowling conditions and England’s seamers will hope to get the remaining five West Indies wickets cheaply to keep the game even. The ‘moving day’ of this Trent Bridge promises a fascinating contest between bat and ball. Let’s see how the game proceeds…
18:33 Local Time, 17:33 GMT, 23:03 IST: A brilliant fightback from West Indies today and they have reduced the lead to 65 runs! The West Indies' openers, Brathwaite and Louis, got off to a steady start on a flat surface. But, a nippy spell from Wood unsettled them. It was Bashir who got the first breakthrough as Louis holed out in the deep. Soon after, Brathwaite was bounced out by Atkinson. McKenzie threw his wicket away at the stroke of lunch and provided England the upper hand. But, the duo of Athanaze and Hodge got together and mixed caution with aggression to perfection. Hodge was dropped early on by Root at first slip and he made them pay. Both of them went past their fifties and kept the scoreboard ticking. It was Stokes who broke the 175-run stand as he lured Athanaze and he fell into the trap. Hodge went onto score his maiden Test hundred - it was a brilliant exhibiton of strokeplay from the talented batter. There was a phase of play where the ball hooped around and Holder was extremely lucky to survive as he kept playing and missing. Woakes got the better of the well-set Hodge with a sharp inswinger to provide his side an opening. But, Da Silva came in and played some attractive strokes to help his side's cause. England need to make the second new ball count tomorrow morning. The visitors will look to stitch another big partnership. Join us for Day 3 tomorrow. Until next time, goodbye.
