Third Test: Stuart Broad causes West Indies collapse on Day 2 in Manchester | Cricket News


MANCHESTER: Stuart broad It caused a first-rate collapse after starring in the bat when England cut the West Indies to stumps 137-6 on the second day of the third decisive test at Old Trafford on Saturday.
England had plummeted to 280-8 after losing four wickets over 18 runs before Broad’s No. 10 adventurer led them to a total of 369 first innings.
When the poor light forced an early shutdown, the West Indies were 232 runs behind, needing 33 more to avoid tracking.
West Indies captain Jason Holder was not 24 and Shane Dowrich was 10.
Veteran duo of new-ball Broad and James Anderson, paired for the first time in this series, they both had stump numbers of 2-17.
Broad hit with just his fourth ball for England captain Joe Root to catch West Indies resident Kraigg Brathwaite.
John Campbell dropped to 10 when the normally reliable second slip, Ben Stokes, left a routine opportunity, he seemed increasingly confident at 32.

But fast bowler Jofra Archer, back after being omitted from England’s 113-race victory in the Second Test for violating the biosafety regulations governing this series, produced a very expensive delivery that left-hander Campbell could only cope with.
Anderson, the all-time leader in the England wicket test, hit both sides of the tea at his Lancashire home when tourists fell to 59-4.
Shai Hope, struggling to run this series, faced an Anderson delivery who walked away late, a desperately difficult ball to play, and was caught by 17.

After the interval, Anderson got one back to Shamarh Brooks, and this time the batter approached goalkeeper Jos Buttler.
In an international brand campaign CricketUpon his return from blocking, Broad produced classic support for Roston Chase to win by nine, the batter not bothering with a overhaul when the West Indies collapsed to 73-5.
Jermaine Blackwood, who had a 95-game tie during the four-wicket victory in the West Indies in the first Test, looked good at 26.

But her middle stump fell off the ground when Chris Woakes tore one out of the seam.
Dowrich, a two-duck newcomer in the second test, was lucky when he caught up with an Archer gorilla only to have the ball cleared by Rory Burns, who was pedaling backward into the ravine.
England, with Stokes off-road unfit to play after a quad injury, chose to play an additional sealer by dropping hitter Zak Crawley as they looked to win this three-game series 2-1.
They had lost the first wickets, but resumed on 258-4 after missing the pitch.

Ollie Pope wasn’t out and 91 Buttler undefeated in 56, his first Test fifty in 14 innings.
Pope, however, was unable to increase his score.
In view of his second century of testing, Rahkeem Cornwall had already dropped the Pope in slips when Shannon Gabriel clean knocked him down to finish with a fifth place of 140 wicket.
Woakes played quickly to give Roach, who finished 4-72, his 200th test wicket.
Buttler was well caught by 67 for Holder in the second slip.
But Broad, who has a higher test score of 169, countered with his top fifty at this level in just over three years.
On ground where he was hit in the face by an Indian keeper Varun Aaron in 2014, left-handed hitter Broad took Roach out six when the new ball began to soften.
Broad four-handed Holder to complete a fifty-33 ball before throwing a full shot of Chase out of the occasional spinner to the deep center.
