Live Cricket Score of West Indies vs England, 3rd Test, Day 3 at Bridgetown, Barbados

18 wicket fell on Day 2. England added just 17 to their overnight score before Anderson's 6 for 42 helped them seize a 68-run first innings lead. Just when one thought England would drive home the advantage, a Jerome Taylor-led West Indies attack reduced them to 39 for 5, an overall lead of 107. If West Indies can skittle England out early on Day 3, they have a golden chance to prevent a series loss. However, even a target of over 200 will take getting on a crumbling surface in Barbados that's offering bounce and turn in equal measure. Then there's the small measure of the old ball reversing.

Low scoring games are usually the best to watch, says Ian Botham. Should be a cracker this!

Jos Butler reviewed and successfully reversed an umpire adjudication on 0 and along with Stokes, batted confidently to push England's lead beyond 150. While Taylor failed to retain his incisiveness from last evening, left-arm spinner Permaul kept the close-in fielders interested by getting the ball to kick and turn off the rough. To their credit, both Stokes and Buttler handled it pretty well.

51 runs in the opening hour for the loss of 1 wicket. England will take this!

Denesh Ramdin began Day 3 by bowling Jerome Taylor and Marlon Samuels on a Barbados wicket that had something in it for both speed and spin. But with Stokes and Ballance scoring freely, largely due to the bowling being non-penetrative, the captain turned to the left-arm spin of Veerasammy Permaul. The bowling change worked like a charm as Ballance edged one in the spinner's first over and was caught at slip. Super start.
