England recovered from a chaotic morning to build a healthy lead over West Indies on the third day of the second Test at Trent Bridge.
Efficient with the second new ball, England reduced the tourists to 386-9, still 30 behind, only for Ben Stokes’ side to employ some baffling tactics and surrender the initiative. When Joseph was finally out for 33, Da Silva was stranded on 82 not out and West Indies had reached 457, their largest total in this country since 1995.
The tension was palpable as Root and Brook rebuilt in challenging conditions late in the day, the umpires at one stage in discussion over the light. Duckett and Pope counter-punched to ensure England were level after 41 balls. Pope played perfect cover drives, Duckett punished any miniscule amount of width and swept off-spinner Kevin Sinclair for three successive fours. The second-wicket paid added 119.
