HERE WE GO…Ben Stokes (16*) and Joe Root (8*) will start the proceedings for England. Kemar Roach with the ball for West Indies. Stokes on strike for the hosts. And the floodlights are on too to compensate for the cloudy sky.
As things stand, the play should start on the scheduled time, 3:30 pm IST. The precautionary covers on the pitch have been taken off now.
* The biggest question today is, how long England will bat?
England need a win to keep the series alive and they must be looking to set a target of 275 or more for the Windies. They already have a lead of 219 runs and quick runs early in the day will get to their desired total in 10-15 overs for sure. We have a total of 98 overs to play on the final day, minus 2 overs for changeover, so Joe Root has to decide how many overs his bowlers need to get 10 Windies wickets on the Day 5 pitch.
“I think sometimes I get put in an older category than I am. Jimmy [James Anderson] has taken around 130 Test wickets since he was my age, why can’t I do the same? I’m hungry, my fitness levels are good. Why not try and emulate what Jimmy has done and play to his age? I feel I can. Today proved that again. When I set goals it makes me hungry to achieve them.” – England pacer Stuart Broad
‘Massive day ahead for England’

14:50 IST: Westher Updates — So far no rain in Manchester, but there are few grey clouds hovering around in the area. And there is a forecast of a passing light shower, which should not last long. But how much it will affect the proceedings of the day will be known only after it happened.
Hello and welcome to what’s expected to be a riveting day of Test cricket on day five of the second Test between England and West Indies at Old Trafford in Manchester, with the hosts hoping for a rain-free final day in order to press for a series-levelling victory.
